Genome Study of a Novel Virulent Phage vB_SspS_KASIA and Mu-like Prophages of Shewanella sp. M16 Provides Insights into the Genetic Diversity of the Shewanella Virome.

Abstract excerpt

Shewanella is a ubiquitous bacterial genus of aquatic ecosystems, and its bacteriophages are also isolated from aquatic environments (oceans, lakes, ice, and wastewater). In this study, the isolation and characterization of a novel virulent Shewanella phage vB_SspS_KASIA and the identification of three prophages of its host, Shewanella sp. M16, including a mitomycin-inducible Mu-like siphovirus, vB_SspS_MuM16-1,...
