| genome sequence and characterization of the tsukamurella bacteriophage tpa2. | the formation of stable foam in activated sludge plants is a global problem for which control is difficult. these foams are often stabilized by hydrophobic mycolic acid-synthesizing actinobacteria, among which are tsukamurella spp. this paper describes the isolation from activated sludge of the novel double-stranded dna phage tpa2. this polyvalent siphoviridae family phage is lytic for most tsukamurella species. whole-genome sequencing reveals that the tpa2 genome is circularly permuted (61,440 ... | 2010 | 21183635 |
