Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting Acinetobacter beijerinck...
Gomes, Marta Teresa Silva; Domingues, Rita Alexandra Carpinteiro; Turner, Dann; Oliveira, Hugo Alexandre MendesBacteriophages are the most diverse genetic entities on Earth. In this study, two novel bacteriophages, nACB1 (Podoviridae morphotype) and nACB2 (Myoviridae morphotype), which infect Acinetobacter beijerinckii and Acinetobacter halotolerans, respectively, were isolated from sewage samples. The genome sequences of nACB1 and nACB2 revealed that their genome sizes were 80,310 bp and 136,560 bp, respectively. Compa...
Genomic diversity of bacteriophages infecting the genus Acinetobacter
Oliveira, Hugo Alexandre Mendes; Domingues, Rita; Evans, Benjamin; Sutton, J. Mark; Adriaenssens, Evelien M.; Turner, DannThe number of sequenced Acinetobacter phage genomes in the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration has increased significantly in recent years, from 37 in 2017 to a total of 139 as of January 2021 with genome sizes ranging from 31 to 378 kb. Here, we explored the genetic diversity of the Acinetobacter phages using comparative genomics approaches that included assessment of nucleotide similarity...
Taxonomy of prokaryotic viruses: 2017 update from the ICTV Bacterial and Archae...
Alfenas‐Zerbini, Poliane; Adriaenssens, Evelien M.; Wittmann, Johannes; Kuhn, Jens H.; Turner, Dann; Sullivan, Matthew B.; Dutilh, Bas E.; Jang, Ho BinThe prokaryotic virus community is represented at the Inter- national Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by the Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee. Since our last report [5], the committee composition has changed, and a large number of taxonomic proposals (TaxoProps) were submitted to the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) for approval
