Abstract excerpt
The phage growth limitation (Pgl) system, encoded by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), confers protection against the temperate bacteriophage phiC31 and its homoimmune relatives. The Pgl phenotype is characterized by the ability of Pgl+ hosts to support a phage burst on initial infection but subsequent cycles are severely attenuated. Previously, two adjacent genes pglY and pglZ were shown to be required for Pgl. It...
