Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive, sporulating soil microbe with valuable pesticide-producing properties. The study of bacteriophages of B. thuringiensis could provide new biotechnological tools for the use of this bacterium. Here, we present the complete annotated genome of Spock, a myophage of B. thuringiensis, and describe its features.
苏云金芽孢杆菌是一种革兰氏阳性、能形成芽孢的土壤微生物,具有宝贵的产生杀虫剂的特性。对苏云金芽孢杆菌噬菌体的研究可为该细菌的利用提供新的生物技术工具。在此,我们展示了苏云金芽孢杆菌肌尾噬菌体斯波克(Spock)的完整注释基因组,并描述了其特征。
