Temperate bacteriophage infectious for asporogenic variants of Bacillus pumilus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bacillus pumilus strain NRRL B-3275 is lysogenic for an inducible, nondefective temperate bacteriophage phi75. phi75 infects and lysogenizes several asporogenic mutants of B. pumilus strain NRS 576 but does not productively infect the spore(+) parent. phi75 DNA is a linear duplex with a mol wt of about 29 x 10(6) and a buoyant density of 1.701 g/cm(3). The location of the phi75 prophage attachment site on the chromosome of both host strains is adjacent to a lysine marker. The apparent order is phi75 att lys trp.

متن کاملIsolation and Study of a Bacteriophage for Bacillus Pumilus.
Bacteriophages for the genus Bacillus have rightfully gained popularity as virological research tools (Adant, 1928; Cowles, 1931; Francis and Rippon, 1949; Friedman and Cowles, 1953; Gochenauer, 1955; Smith, Gordon, and Clark, 1946). One way to improve the understanding of a discipline is to broaden the study of systems within that discipline. The objective of the study presented was to isolate...
متن کاملComplete Genome of Bacillus pumilus Siphophage Glittering
Bacillus pumilus is a Gram-positive bacterium widely used in agriculture both as an antifungal and as a growth-promoting symbiont. B. pumilus is rarely infectious but has recently been shown to infect humans. Here, we present the complete genome of B. pumilus phage Glittering, a potential biocontrol agent for B. pumilus.
متن کاملMechanism of transfection with deoxyribonucleic acid from the temperate Bacillus bacteriophage phi-105.
Bacteriophage phi105 is a temperate phage for the transformable Bacillus subtilis 168. The infectivity of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from mature phi105 phage particles, from bacteria lysogenic for phi105 (prophage DNA), and from induced lysogenic bacteria (vegetative DNA) was examined in the B. subtilis transformation system. About one infectious center was formed per 10(8) mature DN...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of the Bacillus pumilus Phage Leo2
Bacillus spp. are ubiquitous Gram-positive microbes with many ecological and symbiotic interactions and can be pathogens. Phage Leo2 was found to infect a Bacillus pumilus strain isolated from soil. The sequence of phage Leo2 revealed 74 genes; 31% of the genes have associated functions, and 67% of coding regions are unidentified open reading frames.
