Abstract

The genomes of two new lytic phages of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032, φ673 and φ674, were sequenced and annotated (GenBank: MG324353, MG324354). Electron microscopy studies of both virions revealed that taxonomically they belong to the Siphoviridae family and have a polyhedral head with a width of 50 nm and a non-contractile tail with a length of 250 nm. The genomes of φ673 and φ674 consist of linear double-stranded DNA molecules with lengths of 44,530 bp (G+C = 51.1%) and 43,193 bp (G+C = 50.7%) and identical, protruding, cohesive 3' ends 13 nt in length. The level of identity between the φ673 and φ674 genomes is 85.2%. Two major structural proteins of each virion were separated via SDS-PAGE and identified using peptide mass fingerprinting. Based on bioinformatic analysis, 56 and 54 ORFs were predicted for φ673 and φ674, respectively. Only 20 of the putative gene products of φ673 and 20 of φ674 could be assigned to known functions. Both genomes were divided into functional modules. Nine putative promoters in the φ673 genome and eight in the φ674 genome were predicted. One bidirectional Rho-independent transcription terminator was identified and experimentally confirmed in each phage genome.

Bacteriophage: Phage Therapy

Phage therapy uses bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) to treat bacterial infections and is widely being recognized as an alternative to antibiotics. Here is the latest research.
