Maturation of Pseudo-Nucleus Compartment in P. aeruginosa, Infected with Giant phiKZ Phage [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
The giant phiKZ phage infection induces the appearance of a pseudo-nucleus inside the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, we used RT-PCR, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), electron tomography, and analytical electron microscopy to study the morphology of ...

Characterization of two related Erwinia myoviruses that are distant relatives of the PhiKZ-like Jumbo phages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Bacteriophages are a major force in the evolution of bacteria due to their sheer abundance as well as their ability to infect and kill their hosts and to transfer genetic material.

Characterization of fluorescent proteins for STUdying the morphological rearrangements inside single bacterial cells during infection with phiKZ bacteriophage

St. Petersburg Polytechnical University Journal: Physics and Mathematics, 2022
This work deals with evaluation of key properties of some fluorescent proteins (FPs) in order to use them for observation of redistributing the target proteins between the cytoplasm and pseudonucleus forming in bacterial cell infection by bacteriophage

Differential Effect of Newly Isolated Phages Belonging to PB1-Like, phiKZ-Like and LUZ24-Like Viruses against Multi-Drug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa under Varying Growth Conditions [PDF]

Viruses, 2017
In this study, we characterize three phages (SL1 SL2, and SL4), isolated from hospital sewage with lytic activity against clinical isolates of multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA).

Structure of the Bacteriophage PhiKZ non-Virion RNA Polymerase [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2021
AbstractBacteriophage ΦKZ is the founding member of a family of massive bacterial viruses. It is considered to have therapeutic potential as its host,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is an opportunistic, intrinsically antibiotic resistant, pathogen that kills tens of thousands worldwide each year.

Nucleus-forming jumbophage PhiKZ therapeutically outcompetes non-nucleus-forming jumbophage Callisto. [PDF]

iScience
With the recent resurgence of phage therapy in modern medicine, jumbophages are currently under the spotlight due to their numerous advantages as anti-infective agents. However, most significant discoveries to date have primarily focused on nucleus-forming jumbophages, not their non-nucleus-forming counterparts. In this study, we compare the biological

Isolation, Characterization and Genomic Analysis of a Novel Jumbo Phage, AerS_266, That Infects Aeromonas salmonicida

Microorganisms, 2023
Aeromonas salmonicida is the causative agent of septicemia in fish, and it is associated with significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry. While piscine Aeromonas infections are mainly treated with antibiotics, the emergence of resistance in ...

Assessing the transcriptional landscape of Pseudomonas phage 201ϕ2-1: Uncovering the small regulatory details of a giant phage. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Transcriptomic studies on jumbo phages have been limited. From a phage biology perspective, insights into their transcriptome will improve our understanding of how they regulate their infection cycle. Moreover, phage transcriptomic studies are valuable for sourcing regulatory elements which can be exploited in microbial synthetic biology to tune gene ...

The world of ribonucleases from pseudomonads: a short trip through the main features and singularities

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 2316-2333, November 2021., 2021
Ribonucleases are crucial players of the post‐transcriptional regulation. Here are represented specific cases of ribonuclease‐RNA or exoribonuclease‐endoribonuclease interactions that have been uncovered so far in Pseudomonas. Summary The development of synthetic biology has brought an unprecedented increase in the number molecular tools applicable ...
