We recently revised the genome of the paradigm phage SP6 and characterize its lysis genes: www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1177/...
The Lysis Genes of the Paradigm Phage SP6 | PHAGE
Background: The Salmonella podophage SP6 has been extensively studied as a divergent relative of T7 and as a prototype for therapeutic applications. Two decades ago, it underwent two comprehensive gen...

#publicationAlert Excited to present the lysis cassette of jumbophage phiKZ. Here, we present the multigene lysis system with a newly classified class IIIb holin, endolysin, i-spanin and o-spanin. In addition, we also identified a cytoplasmic lysis regulator protein. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The Lysis Cassette of Jumbophage phiKZ
Pseudomonas jumbophage phiKZ is prominent because of the proteinaceous nuclear structure that is formed during the infection cycle, conferring resistance of the replicating phage DNA to anti-phage res...
