A Novel Phage Infecting Alteromonas Represents a Distinct Group of Siphophages Infecting Diverse Aquatic Copiotrophs
13 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
phage, vB_AcoS-R7M (R7M). A taxonomic study reveals close evolutionary relationships among R7M and a number of siphophages infecting various aquatic copiotrophs. Their similar head morphology and overall genetic framework suggest their putative common ancestry and the grouping of a new viral subfamily. However, their major difference lies in the viral tail adsorption apparatuses and the horizontal exchanges of...
