Genomic characterization of Ralstonia solanacearum phage phiRSB1, a T7-like wide-host-range phage

J Bacteriol. 2009 Jan;191(1):422-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.01263-08. Epub 2008 Oct 24.

Abstract

PhiRSB1 is a wide-host-range, T7-like bacteriophage that infects and efficiently lyses the phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum. The phiRSB1 genome comprises 43,079 bp of double-stranded DNA (61.7% G+C) with 325-bp terminal repeats and contains 47 open reading frames. Strong activity of tandem early promoters and wide specificity of phage promoters of phiRSB1 were demonstrated.
