Abstract
The newly discovered Xanthomonas phage M29 (Xp M29) is the first lytic phage infecting Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) that was isolated from cabbage leaves in the Czech Republic. The phage consists of icosahedral head approximately 60 nm in diameter and a probably contractile tail of 170 nm. The complete genome size was 42 891 bp, with a G + C content of 59.6%, and 69 ORFs were predicted on both strands. Pairwise nucleotide comparison showed the highest similarity with the recently described Xanthomonas phage FoX3 (91.2%). Bacteriophage Xp M29 has a narrow host range infecting 5 out of 21 isolates of Xcc. Xp M29 is a novel species in a newly formed genus Foxunavirus assigned directly to the class Caudoviricetes.
期刊介绍:
Viruses are convenient models for the elucidation of life processes. The study of viruses is again on the cutting edge of biological sciences: systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, using the newest most powerful tools.
Huge amounts of new details on virus interactions with the cell, other pathogens and the hosts – animal (including human), insect, fungal, plant, bacterial, and archaeal - and their role in infection and disease are forthcoming in perplexing details requiring analysis and comments.
Virus Genes is dedicated to the publication of studies on the structure and function of viruses and their genes, the molecular and systems interactions with the host and all applications derived thereof, providing a forum for the analysis of data and discussion of its implications, and the development of new hypotheses.
