Systematic overexpression of genes encoded by mycobacteriophage Waterfoul reveals novel inhibitors of mycobacterial growth

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages represent an enormous reservoir of novel genes, many of which are unrelated to existing entries in public databases and cannot be assigned a predicted function. Characterization of these genes can provide important insights into the intricacies of phage-host interactions and may offer new strategies to manipulate bacterial growth and behavior. Overexpression is a useful tool in the study of...
