The genome sequence of a Bacillus anthracis-specific clear plaque mutant phage, AP50c, contains 31 open reading frames spanning 14,398 bp, has two mutations compared to wild-type AP50t, and has a colinear genome architecture highly similar to that of gram-positive Tectiviridae phages. Spontaneous AP50c-resistant B. anthracis mutants exhibit a mucoid colony phenotype.
一种炭疽芽孢杆菌特异性透明噬菌斑突变噬菌体AP50c的基因组序列包含31个开放阅读框,跨度为14398 bp,与野生型AP50t相比有两个突变,并且具有与革兰氏阳性微小病毒科噬菌体高度相似的共线性基因组结构。自发产生的对AP50c具有抗性的炭疽芽孢杆菌突变体表现出黏液样菌落表型。
