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

Genomic transfer via membrane vesicle: a strategy of giant phage phiKZ for early infection [PDF]
ABSTRACT During infection, the giant phiKZ phage forms a specialized structure at the center of the host cell called the phage nucleus. This structure is crucial for safeguarding viral DNA against bacterial nucleases and for segregating the transcriptional activities of late genes.

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

Introduction. Giant phiKZ-like bacteriophages have a unique protein formation inside the capsid, an inner body (IB) with supercoiled DNA molecule wrapped around it.

Relevance. Biofilms of bacteria, in particular, pathogens of purulent-septic and enteral diseases, play an important role in the development of the infectious process, resulting in 60–70% of its chronic and recurrent forms.

Novel Giant Phages vB_AerVM_332-Vera and vB_AerVM_332-Igor and Siphophage vB_AerVS_332-Yulya Infecting the Same Aeromonas veronii Strain [PDF]
Three novel Aeromonas phages vB_AerVS_332-Yuliya, vB_AerVM_332-Vera, and vB_AerVM_332-Igor and their host Aeromonas veronii CEMTC7594 were found in the same water + sediments sample collected in a freshwater pond.
