Abstract excerpt
phiCh1 is a temperate virus infecting the haloalkaliphilic archaeon Natrialba magadii. As for all temperate viruses, a control of the lysogenic state versus the lytic life cycle is essential. Two open reading frames (ORFs) have been identified as putative repressor encoding genes: ORF48 and ORF49. The protein of ORF48 showed sequence similarities to putative repressor molecules. ORF49 was identified by the...
