2 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To identify and characterize the lysis gene cassette from the bacteriophage ST79 that lyses Burkholderia pseudomallei. METHODS AND RESULTS: Approximately 1·5 kb of ST79 lysis genes were identified from the phage genome data. It was composed of holin, peptidase M15A or endolysin, lysB and lysC. Each gene and its combinations were cloned into Escherichia coli and the lytic effects were measured. Co-expression...
