Eight Genome Sequences of Cluster BE1 Phages That Infect Streptomyces Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cluster BE1 Streptomyces bacteriophages belong to the Siphoviridae, with genome sizes over 130 kbp, and they contain direct terminal repeats of approximately 11 kbp. Eight newly isolated closely related cluster BE1 phages contain 43 to 48 tRNAs, one transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), and 216 to 236 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), but few of their genes are shared with other phages, including those infecting Streptomyces species.

Evolutionary relationships among actinophages and a putative adaptation for growth in Streptomyces spp.
The genome sequences of eight Streptomyces phages are presented, four of which were isolated for this study. Phages R4, TG1, Hau3, and SV1 were isolated previously and have been exploited as tools for understanding and genetically manipulating Streptomyces spp. We also extracted five apparently intact prophages from recent Streptomyces spp. genome projects and, together with six phage genomes i...
متن کاملGenome Sequences of Mycobacteriophages Findley, Hurricane, and TBond007
We report here the genome sequences of three newly isolated phages that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. Phages Findley, Hurricane, and TBond007 were discovered in geographically distinct locations and are related to cluster K mycobacteriophages, with Findley being similar to subcluster K2 phages and Hurricane and TBond007 being similar to subcluster K3 phages.
متن کاملPhylogeny of the major head and tail genes of the wide-ranging T4-type bacteriophages.
We examined a number of bacteriophages with T4-type morphology that propagate in different genera of enterobacteria, Aeromonas, Burkholderia, and Vibrio. Most of these phages had a prolate icosahedral head, a contractile tail, and a genome size that was similar to that of T4. A few of them had more elongated heads and larger genomes. All these phages are phylogenetically related, since they eac...
متن کاملProfile of Eight Prophage Sequences Present in the Genomes of Different Acinetobacter baumannii Strains
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Prophage sequences are major contributors to interstrain variations within the same bacterial species. Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit inpatients. Prophage sequences constitute a considerable proporti...
متن کاملGenome Sequences of Streptomyces Phages Amela and Verse.
Amela and Verse are two Streptomyces phages isolated by enrichment on Streptomyces venezuelae (ATCC 10712) from two different soil samples. Amela has a genome length of 49,452, with 75 genes. Verse has a genome length of 49,483, with 75 genes. Both belong to the BD3 subcluster of Actinobacteriophage.
