| the temperate marine phage phihap-1 of halomonas aquamarina possesses a linear plasmid-like prophage genome. | a myovirus-like temperate phage, phihap-1, was induced with mitomycin c from a halomonas aquamarina strain isolated from surface waters in the gulf of mexico. the induced cultures produced significantly more virus-like particles (vlps) (3.73 x 10(10) vlp ml(-1)) than control cultures (3.83 x 10(7) vlp ml(-1)) when observed with epifluorescence microscopy. the induced phage was sequenced by using linker-amplified shotgun libraries and contained a genome 39,245 nucleotides in length with a g+c con ... | 2008 | 18448537 |
