Marine phage genomics: the tip of the iceberg [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2016
Marine viruses are the most abundant biological entity in the oceans, the majority of which infect bacteria and are known as bacteriophages. Yet, the bulk of bacteriophages form part of the vast uncultured dark matter of the microbial biosphere. In spite of the paucity of cultured marine bacteriophages, it is known that marine bacteriophages have major

The Genome of the Novel Phage Rtp, with a Rosette-Like Tail Tip, IsHomologous to the Genome of Phage T1 [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2006
ABSTRACTAnewEscherichia coliphage, named Rtp, was isolated and shown to be closely related to phage T1. Electron microscopy revealed that phage Rtp has a morphologically unique tail tip consisting of four leaf-like structures arranged in a rosette, whereas phage T1 has thinner, flexible leaves that thicken toward the ends.

Comparative genomics defines the core genome of the growing N4-like phage genus and identifies N4-like Roseophage specific genes [PDF]

, 2014
Two bacteriophages, RPP1 and RLP1, infecting members of the marine Roseobacter clade were isolated from seawater. Their linear genomes are 74.7 and 74.6 kb and encode 91 and 92 coding DNA sequences, respectively.

Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium Phage CrystalP [PDF]

Genome Announcements, 2017
ABSTRACT Mycobacteriophage CrystalP is a newly isolated phage infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc 2 155. CrystalP has a 76,483-bp genome and is predicted to contain 143 protein-coding and 2 tRNA genes, including repressor and integrase genes consistent with a temperate ...

Predicting genome terminus sequences of Bacillus cereus-group bacteriophage using next generation sequencing data

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Most tailed bacteriophages (phages) feature linear dsDNA genomes. Characterizing novel phages requires an understanding of complete genome sequences, including the definition of genome physical ends.

Genome Structure of Caulobacter Phage phiCb5 [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT The complete genome sequence of caulobacter phage phiCb5 has been determined, and four open reading frames (ORFs) have been identified and characterized. As for related phages, the ORFs code for maturation, coat, replicase, and lysis proteins, but unlike other Leviviridae members, the lysis ...

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]

, 2013
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Genome Analysis and Therapeutic Evaluation of a Novel Lytic Bacteriophage of Salmonella Typhimurium: Suggestive of a New Genus in the Subfamily Vequintavirinae

Viruses, 2022
Salmonella Typhimurium, a foodborne pathogen, is a major concern for food safety. Its MDR serovars of animal origin pose a serious threat to the human population. Phage therapy can be an alternative for the treatment of such MDR Salmonella serovars.
