| in situ fluorescence microscopy of bacteriophage aggregates. | virus aggregation is analyzed because of its potential use for both classifying viruses and understanding virus ecology and evolution. virus aggregation is, however, problematic because aggregation causes loss of virions during processing for microscopy of any type. thus, here we detect virus aggregation by fluorescence microscopy of wet-mounted dissections of dilute gel-supported plaques (in situ fluorescence microscopy) of a test virus, the long-tail aggregating bacillus thuringiensis bacterio ... | 2007 | 18045325 |
| complete genomic sequence and mass spectrometric analysis of highly diverse, atypical bacillus thuringiensis phage 0305phi8-36. | to investigate the apparent genomic complexity of long-genome bacteriophages, we have sequenced the 218,948-bp genome (6479-bp terminal repeat), and identified the virion proteins (55), of bacillus thuringiensis bacteriophage 0305phi8-36. phage 0305phi8-36 is an atypical myovirus with three large curly tail fibers. an accurate mode of dna pyrosequencing was used to sequence the genome and mass spectrometry was used to accomplish the comprehensive virion protein survey. advanced informatic techni ... | 2007 | 17673272 |
