Abstract excerpt
The putative primase gene and other genes associated with the Sfi21-prototype genome replication module are highly conserved in Streptococcus thermophilus bacteriophages. Expression of antisense RNAs complementary to the putative primase gene (pri3.1) from S. thermophilus phage kappa 3 provided significant protection from kappa 3 and two other Sfi21-type phages. Expression of pri3.10-AS, an antisense RNA that...
