Project description:Staphylococcus phage 812, strain K1/420, is a broad-acting bacteriophage infecting S. aureus. Phage 812 belongs to the family Herelleviridae and is closely related to kayviruses. We conducted a structural study of the viral particle of phage 812 before and after genome ejection. We characterized the protein components forming the particle and described the changes in their structural arrangement that govern genome anchoring, gating, and release.
Project description:RNA-sequencing was preformed from RNA isolated from bacteria infected with the bacteriophage. In order to reveal the phage-host interactions between φR1-37 and Yersinia enterocolitica throughout the phage infection cycle, both the transcriptomes were scrutinized during all the stages of infection.
Project description:We observed the expression profile of the total mRNA in crp (TTHA1437) deletion mutant strain of Thermus thermophilus HB8 during infection of bacteriophage ϕYS40. Keywords: time course, bacteriophage, infection, CRP, cAMP receptor protein, deletion mutant
