Pf16 and phiPMW: Expanding the realm of Pseudomonas putida bacteriophages
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the analysis of two novel Pseudomonas putida phages, pf16 and phiPMW. Pf16 represents a peripherally related T4-like phage, and is the first of its kind infecting a Pseudomonad, with evidence suggesting cyanophage origins. Extensive divergence has resulted in pf16 occupying a newly defined clade designated as the pf16-related phages, lying at the interface of the Schizo T-Evens and Exo T-Evens. Recombination with an ancestor of the P. putida phage AF is likely responsible for the tropism of this phage. phiPMW represents a completely novel Pseudomonas phage with a genome containing substantial genetic novelty through its many hypothetical proteins. Evidence suggests that this phage has been extensively shaped through gene transfer events and vertical evolution. Phylogenetics shows that this phage has an evolutionary history involving FelixO1-related viruses but is in itself highly distinct from this group.

Transduction and the clustering of genes in fluorescent Pseudomonads.
This paper describes a genetic system for a group of fluorescent pseudomonads that oxidize an exceptionally wide variety of substrates. We have directed our studies of the versatility of these organisms to the question of specificity and to the mechanism of oxygen reduction. These studies have identified a number of multimeric monoxygenases. Optimum progress in resolution of these problems is d...
متن کاملTransmissible plasmid coding early enzymes of naphthalene oxidation in Pseudomonas putida.
The capacity of Pseudomonas putida PpG7 (ATCC 17,485) to grow on naphthalene, phenotype Nah(+), is lost spontaneously, and the frequency is increased by treatment with mitomycin C. The Nah(+) growth character can be transferred to cured or heterologous fluorescent pseudomonads lacking this capacity by conjugation, or between phage pf16-sensitive strains by transduction. After mutagenesis, strai...

Genomic Analysis of Pseudomonas putida Phage tf with Localized Single-Strand DNA Interruptions
The complete sequence of the 46,267 bp genome of the lytic bacteriophage tf specific to Pseudomonas putida PpG1 has been determined. The phage genome has two sets of convergently transcribed genes and 186 bp long direct terminal repeats. The overall genomic architecture of the tf phage is similar to that of the previously described Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages PaP3, LUZ24 and phiMR299-2, and 3...
