Abstract excerpt
Mycobacteriophage D29 is a lytic phage that infects both fast and slow-growing mycobacterial species. The complete genome sequence of D29 reveals that it is a close relative of the temperate mycobacteriophage L5, whose sequence has been described previously. The overall organization of the D29 genome is similar to that of L5, although a 3.6 kb deletion removing the repressor gene accounts for the inability of D29...
