Sporulation-converting bacteriophages for Bacillus pumilus

Journal of Virology

Abstract

Thirty-three sporulation-converting bacteriophages for Bacillus pumilus NRS576 were assigned to two apparently unrelated groups on the basis of morphology and antiserum neutralization. Bacterial sporulation mutants responded similarly (conversion or nonconversion) to representatives of both phage groups. Evidence is presented indicating that PMB1 and related phages specify a restriction and/or modification system.

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.
