| the intron-containing genome of the lytic pseudomonas phage luz24 resembles the temperate phage pap3. | the virulent pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage luz24 (45,625 bp) was isolated from hospital sewage. it belongs to the family of the podoviridae, and carries a bidirectionally transcribed dsdna genome delineated by two direct terminal repeats of 184 bp. in vitro transcriptional analysis identified seven sigma(70) promoters, revealing a bias towards stronger promoter strength in the late genomic region. reverse transcription demonstrated in vivo splicing of a 668 bp group i intron embedded insi ... | 2008 | 18519145 |
