In deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities, viruses play very important roles. However vent thermophilic bacteriophages remain largely unexplored. In this investigation, a novel vent Geobacillus bacteriophage, D6E, was characterized. Based on comparative genomics and proteomics analyses, the results showed an extensive mosaicism of D6E genome with other mesophilic or thermophilic phages.
在深海热液喷口群落中，病毒起着非常重要的作用。然而，热液嗜热噬菌体在很大程度上仍未被探索。在这项研究中，对一种新型喷口地芽孢杆菌噬菌体 D6E 进行了特征描述。基于比较基因组学和蛋白质组学分析，结果表明 D6E 基因组与其他中温或高温噬菌体存在广泛的嵌合体现象。
