More Is Better: Selecting for Broad Host Range Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. In this perspective, we discuss several aspects of a characteristic feature of bacteriophages, their host range. Each phage has its own particular host range, the range of bacteria that it can infect. While some phages can only infect one or a few bacterial strains, other phages can infect many species or even bacteria from different genera. Diff...
متن کاملPrevalence of broad-host-range lytic bacteriophages of Sphaerotilus natans, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Two bacteriophage collections were examined with regard to their ability to form plaques on multiple bacterial host species. Nine of 10 phages studied were found to be broad-host-range bacteriophages. These phages fell into two groups. Group 1, the SN series, was isolated from sewage treatment plant samples with Sphaerotilus natans ATCC 13338 as a host. The DNAs of these bacteriophages containe...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Broad-Host-Range Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacteriophages ΦR18 and ΦS12-1
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important cause of racehorse keratitis. Bacteriophage therapy has the potential to aid in the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by P. aeruginosa We present here the complete genome sequences of two phages, ΦR18 and ΦS12-1, which exhibit infectivity for a broad range of P. aeruginosa isolates.
متن کاملBroad-Host-Range Plasmid by Electroporation
Methylotrophic bacteria able to grow on one-carbon compounds, such as methanol and monomethylamine, as sole carbon sources have received considerable attention because of their potential commercial applications, including the production of single-cell protein, amino acids, pyrroloquinoline quinone, and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate. The utility of methylotrophs should be increased by the use of recomb...
متن کاملOxygen – less is better , more is better ? ?
Altitude training has been employed as a tool for enhancing performance by athletes since the 1964 Mexico Olympics. The cost and impracticality of going to altitude regularly has led to the development of altitude simulation at sea level by creating low oxygen (‘hypoxia’) environments. ‘Altitude’ or ‘hypoxic’ training facilities are now springing up all around the country. The evidence supporti...
