Construction of carrier state viruses with partial genomes of the segmented dsRNA bacteriophages.
Virology - 20 Feb 2004
Sun Yang, Qiao Xueying, Mindich Leonard
Abstract excerpt
The cystoviridae are bacteriophages with genomes of three segments of dsRNA enclosed within a polyhedral capsid. Two members of this family, Phi6 and Phi8, have been shown to form carrier states in which the virus replicates as a stable episome in the host bacterium while expressing reporter genes such as kanamycin resistance or lacalpha. The carrier state does not require the activity of all the genes necessary...
