Comparative genomics groups phages of Negativicutes and classical Firmicutes despite different Gram-staining properties
2019-04-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Negativicutes are Gram-Negative bacteria characterized by two cell membranes, but they are phylogenetically a side-branch of Gram-Positive Firmicutes that contain only a single membrane. We asked whether viruses (phages) infecting Negativicutes were horizontally acquired from Gram-Negative Proteobacteria, given the shared outer cell structure of their bacterial hosts, or if Negativicute phages co...
