A multivalent adsorption apparatus explains the broad host range of phage phi92: a comprehensive genomic and structural analysis.
Bacteriophage phi92 is a large, lytic myovirus isolated in 1983 from pathogenic Escherichia coli strains that carry a polysialic acid capsule. Here we report the genome organization of phi92, the cryoelectron microscopy reconstruction of its virion, and the reinvestigation of its host specificity. The genome consists of a linear, double-stranded 148,612-bp DNA sequence containing 248 potential ...
متن کاملCorrection: Population Dynamics of a Salmonella Lytic Phage and Its Host: Implications of the Host Bacterial Growth Rate in Modelling
The prevalence and impact of bacteriophages in the ecology of bacterial communities coupled with their ability to control pathogens turn essential to understand and predict the dynamics between phage and bacteria populations. To achieve this knowledge it is essential to develop mathematical models able to explain and simulate the population dynamics of phage and bacteria. We have developed an u...
متن کاملRole of the flagellum in cell-cycle-dependent expression of bacteriophage receptor activity in Caulobacter crescentus.
The rate of adsorption of Caulobacter bacteriophage phi CbK to Caulobacter crescentus is dependent on the structural integrity of the flagellum. Cells lacking part or all of the flagellum because of either mutation or mechanical shear were defective in adsorption, and the extent of the defect in adsorption reflected the amount of flagellar structure missing. Maximal adsorption rates were also d...
متن کاملThe Lactococcal Plasmid pNP40 Encodes a Third Bacteriophage Resistance Mechanism, One Which Affects Phage DNA Penetration.
The lactococcal plasmid pNP40 mediates insensitivity to (phi)c2 by an early-acting phage resistance mechanism in addition to the previously identified abortive infection system, AbiF, in the Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MG1614 background. A second abortive infection determinant on pNP40, AbiE, does not confer resistance to (phi)c2. The early-acting mechanism on pNP40 does not prevent phage ...
متن کاملEvolved Populations of Shigella flexneri Phage Sf6 Acquire Large Deletions, Altered Genomic Architecture, and Faster Life Cycles
Genomic architecture is the framework within which genes and regulatory elements evolve and where specific constructs may constrain or potentiate particular adaptations. One such construct is evident in phages that use a headful packaging strategy that results in progeny phage heads packaged with DNA until full rather than encapsidating a simple unit-length genome. Here, we investigate the evol...
