Journal ArticleDOI

Prophage-mediated defence against viral attack and viral counter-defence.

TL;DR: Characterization of ten Cluster N temperate mycobacteriophages revealed at least five distinct prophage-expressed viral defence systems that interfere with the infection of lytic and temperate phages that are either closely related (homotypic defence) or unrelated (heterotypic Defence) to the prophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yet More Evidence of Collusion: a New Viral Defense System Encoded by Gordonia Phage CarolAnn.

TL;DR: A novel prophage-mediated defense system encoded by Gordonia phage CarolAnn is described, which defends against infection by unrelated phages grouped in cluster CZ, suggesting that defense may be mediated by an abortive infection type of mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tales of diversity: Genomic and morphological characteristics of forty-six Arthrobacter phages

Karen K. Klyczek, +136 more
- 17 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: The isolation and genomic characterization of 46 phages from environmental samples at various geographic locations in the U.S. are described, and Jasmine is the first sequenced podovirus of an actinobacterial host.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacteriophage ZoeJ: A broad host-range close relative of mycobacteriophage TM4.

TL;DR: Phage ZoeJ is described, a new Subcluster K2 member, which infects a broad spectrum of mycobacterial hosts including M. smegmatis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Myc Cobacterium avium and has extensive sequence similarity to TM4, and comparative analysis reveals the precise deletion conferring the lytic phenotype of TM4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete Genome Sequence of Gordonia terrae 3612.

TL;DR: The genome sequence reveals Gordonia terrae 3612 to be free of prophage and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), and it is an effective host for the isolation and characterization of Gordonia bacteriophages.
