To understand the interaction between the host of pathogenic Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and its bacteriophage, we isolated the bacteriophage SPN1S. It is a lysogenic phage in the Podoviridae family and uses the O-antigen of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) as a host receptor. Comparative genomic analysis of phage SPN1S and the S. enterica serovar Anatum-specific phage ε15 revealed different host specificities, probably due to the low homology of host specificity-related genes. Here we report the complete circular genome sequence of S. Typhimurium-specific bacteriophage SPN1S and show the results of our analysis. 相似文献

Some properties of bacteriophage phi T isolated from the vaccine strain Bordetella pertussis Tohama phase I and propagated in Bordetella parapertussis 504 cells are presented. Phage phi T belongs to the IV group in accordance with Tikhonenko classification. The diameter of head and length of noncontractile tail sheath are 49.5 +/- 0.5 and 145 +/- 7 nm, respectively. Diameter of the tail sheath is 3.2 +/- 0.6 nm. Molecular mass of the phage DNA is 37 +/- 3 kb. Population of phi T phage is polymorphous and consists of particles the genomes or which vary from each other by the "insert" located 6.8 +/- 0.6 kb from the end of molecule. The blot hybridization has demonstrated that the bacteriophage genome is not inserted into the chromosome of the lysogenic strain. Autonomous location of the phage genome in the host cell is suggested. The temperature and hydrogen ions concentration effects on bacteriophage phi T stability were studied. The conditions for phage suspension storage are described. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage φKMV requires type IV pili for infection, as observed from the phenotypic characterization and phage adsorption assays on a phage infection-resistant host strain mutant. A cosmid clone library of the host ( P. aeruginosa PAO1) genomic DNA was generated and used to select for a clone that was able to restore φKMV infection in the resistant mutant. This complementing cosmid also re-established type IV pili-dependent twitching motility. The correlation between bacteriophage φKMV infectivity and type IV pili, along with its associated twitching motility, was confirmed by the resistance of a P. aeruginosa PAO1Δ pilA mutant to the phage. Subcloning of the complementing cosmid and further phage infection analysis and motility assays suggests that a common regulatory mechanism and/or interaction between the ponA and pilMNOPQ gene products are essential for bacteriophage φKMV infectivity. 相似文献

A novel sulfate-reducing bacterium (strain DePue) closely related to Desulfovibrio vulgaris ssp. vulgaris strain Hildenborough was isolated from the sediment of a heavy-metal impacted lake using established techniques. Although few physiological differences between strains DePue and Hildenborough were observed, pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed a significant genome reduction in strain DePue. Comparative whole-genome microarray and polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that the absence of genes annotated in the Hildenborough genome as phage or phage-related contributed to the significant genome reduction in strain DePue. Two morphotypically distinct temperate bacteriophage from strain Hildenborough were recovered using strain DePue as a host for plaque isolation. 相似文献

The d gene from the Bacillus subtilis temperate bacteriophage SP beta was isolated. When introduced into an SP beta-sensitive strain of B. subtilis, the cloned d gene directed the synthesis of a 22-kilodalton protein and conferred on the host immunity to SP beta phage. A frameshift mutation, designated d2, was introduced into the cloned d gene, and it was subsequently crossed back into the SP beta phage genome. The resulting SP beta phage grew lytically and formed clear plaques on sensitive bacteria. Although the cloned d gene confers immunity to the host, we could not detect complementation of the d gene by mixed infection with SP beta d2 and various SP beta c mutants. The nucleotide sequence of the 1,033-base-pair PstI-to-EcoRI fragment containing the d gene was determined; it includes an open reading frame that could potentially encode a protein of 227 amino acids. The gene was mapped within the PstI H fragment on the phage genome, which positions the d gene about 25 kilobases from the right end of the phage genome. It is transcribed from right to left. 相似文献

A bacteriophage of a certain Staphylococcus (a strain of Staphylococcus lactis) employed in the manufacture of dry sausage has been characterized. The host range of this bacteriophage is wide. In addition to the original host, 15 other strains (out of 40 strains tested) were found to support reproduction of the phage. The sensitive strains represented Staphylococcus saprophyticus and different types of S. lactis.
The growth rate of the bacterial host did not influence the rates of phage adsorption, nor the maximal reproduction rate of new particles. With increasing bacterial growth rate, the “lag” observed before phage reproduction started was distinctly decreased. This phase was shorter with the original host strain than with other sensitive strains.
Resistant cultures of the original host strain were easily obtained. These cultures grew as rapidly and gave as good yields of cell mass as the original phage-sensitive host. However, phage resistance was frequently lost.

This study involves partial characterisation of a lytic bacteriophage P.E1 against a multi drug-resistant clinical isolate of Escherichia coli, isolated from hospital sewage supply. The phage P.E1 has showed a narrow host range suitable for its use in phage therapy. Phage showed lytic activity up to 70°C and at alkaline conditions, but at higher acidic conditions its activity decreased. Latent period and burst size of P.E1 estimated from single-step growth curve was 40 min and 185 plaque-forming units per cell, respectively. The phage P.E1 reduced the growth of host bacteria during the initial 12?h of infection; however, the host bacteria developed resistance afterwards. During the 24-hour observation period, the bacteriophage could still reduce the growth of its host bacteria evident by lower optical density in the phage-treated samples compared with control. The phage genome was double-stranded DNA and larger than 12?kb in size. Further manipulations of genome and proteins may help to unveil the unique aspects of this phage, to use it in phage therapy against E. coli. 相似文献

Properties of the viral R plasmid Rphi6P are described. As a temperate bacteriophage, it plaques on the facultative phototroph Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides. Under aerobic conditions the phage had a latent period of 180 min, a burst time of 200 min, and a burst size of 15 to 20 particles per infective center. The encapsidated viral genome occurred as a supercoiled, circular DNA duplex with a mean contour length of 16.5 +/- 10 micron. Percent guanine plus cytosine, as calculated from thermal denaturation profiles, was 63.5. Mitomycin C-induced loss of the prophage suggested an extrachromosomal location in the host cell. Use of this curing agent enabled the isolation of a plasmid-free strain of R. sphaeroides. Biophysical analysis of the plasmid-free strain lysogenized with Rphi6P confirmed that the prophage occurred as a plasmid in the host cell. 相似文献

Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum is a phytopathogen causing soft rot disease on diverse plant species. To control this plant pathogen, P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum-targeting bacteriophage PP1 was isolated and its genome was completely sequenced to develop a novel biocontrol agent. Interestingly, the 44,400-bp genome sequence does not encode any gene involved in the formation of lysogen, suggesting that this phage may be very useful as a biocontrol agent because it does not make lysogen after host infection. This is the first report on the complete genome sequence of the P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum-targeting bacteriophage, and it will enhance our understanding of the interaction between phytopathogens and their targeting bacteriophages. 相似文献

?CbK is a B3 morphotype bacteriophage of the Siphoviridae family that infects Caulobacter crescentus, the preeminent model system for bacterial cell cycle studies. The last 4 decades of research with ?CbK as a genetic and cytological tool to study the biology of the host warrant an investigation of the phage genome composition. Herein, we report the complete genome sequence of ?CbK and highlight unusual features that emerged from its annotation. The complete genome analysis of the ?CbK phage provides new insight into its characteristics and potential interactions with its Caulobacter crescentus host, setting the stage for future functional studies with ?CbK. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori is a common human pathogen that has been identified to be carcinogenic. This study isolated the temperate bacteriophage 1961P from the lysate of a clinical strain of H. pylori isolated in Taiwan. The bacteriophage has an icosahedral head and a short tail, typical of the Podoviridae family. Its double-stranded DNA genome is 26,836 bp long and has 33 open reading frames. Only 9 of the predicted proteins have homologs of known functions, while the remaining 24 are only similar to unknown proteins encoded by Helicobacter prophages and remnants. Analysis of sequences proximal to the phage-host junctions suggests that 1961P may integrate into the host chromosome via a mechanism similar to that of bacteriophage lambda. In addition, 1961P is capable of generalized transduction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation, characterization, genome analysis, integration, and transduction of a Helicobacter pylori phage. 相似文献

Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious infections in humans and animals and is also an important bacterium for dairy and probiotic supplement production. Therefore, bacteriophages infecting E. faecalis may be useful for phage therapy against multidrug-resistant strains or may threaten industrial fermentation. We isolated a virulent Siphoviridae bacteriophage, BC-611, specifically infecting E. faecalis strain NP-10011 but not infecting other E. faecalis strains or other enterococci. Although the genome sequence of BC-611 resembled that of enterococcal bacteriophage SAP6, BC-611 was marked by its narrow host specificity. 相似文献

Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is probably ubiquitous. However, very little is known of the genetic changes associated with parasite infectivity evolution during adaptation to a coevolving host. We followed the phenotypic and genetic changes in a lytic virus population (bacteriophage; phage Φ2) that coevolved with its bacterial host, Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25. First, we show the rapid evolution of numerous unique phage infectivity phenotypes, and that both phage host range and bacterial resistance to individual phage increased over coevolutionary time. Second, each of the distinct phage phenotypes in our study had a unique genotype, and molecular evolution did not act uniformly across the phage genome during coevolution. In particular, we detected numerous substitutions on the tail fibre gene, which is involved in the first step of the host-parasite interaction: host adsorption. None of the observed mutations could be directly linked with infection against a particular host, suggesting that the phenotypic effects of infectivity mutations are probably epistatic. However, phage genotypes with the broadest host ranges had the largest number of nonsynonymous amino acid changes on genes implicated in infectivity evolution. An understanding of the molecular genetics of phage infectivity has helped to explain the complex phenotypic coevolutionary dynamics in this system. 相似文献

There is a lack of fundamental knowledge about the influence of bacteriophage on probiotic bacteria and other commensals in the gut. Here, we present the isolation and morphological and genetic characterization of a virulent narrow-host-range bacteriophage, φLb338-1. This phage was isolated from fresh sewage and was shown to infect the probiotic cheese strain Lactobacillus paracasei NFBC 338. Electron microscopy studies revealed that φLb338-1 is a member of the Myoviridae family, with an isometric head, a medium-sized contractile tail, and a complex base plate. Genome sequencing revealed a 142-kb genome with 199 open reading frames. Putative functions could be assigned to 22% of the open reading frames; these had significant homology to genes found in the broad-host-range SPO1-like group of phages which includes the Enterococcus faecalis phage φEF24C, Listeria phage A511, and Lactobacillus plantarum phage LP65. Interestingly, no significant genomic similarity was observed between the phage and the probiotic host strain. Future studies will determine if the presence of bacteriophage φLb338-1 or others in the human or animal gut plays an antagonistic role against the probiotic effect of beneficial bacteria. 相似文献

The irreversible binding of bacteriophages to their receptor(s) in the host cell surface triggers release of the naked genome from the virion followed by transit of viral DNA to the host cell cytoplasm. We have purified, for the first time, a receptor from a Gram-positive bacterium that is active to trigger viral DNA ejection in vitro. This extracellular region ("ectodomain") of the Bacillus subtilis protein YueB (YueB780) was a 7 S elongated dimer forming a 36.5-nm-long fiber. YueB780 bound to the tail tip of bacteriophage SPP1. Although a stable receptor-phage interaction occurred between 0 and 37 degrees C, complete blocking of phage DNA release or partial ejection events were observed at temperatures below 15 degrees C. We also showed that the receptor was exposed to the B. subtilis surface. YueB differed structurally from phage receptors from Gram-negative bacteria. Its properties revealed a fiber spanning the full length of the 30-nm-thick peptidoglycan layer. The fiber is predicted to be anchored in the cell membrane through transmembrane segments. These features, highly suitable for a virus receptor in Gram-positive bacteria, are very likely shared by a large number of phage receptors. 相似文献
