Three double-stranded DNA phi29-like group bacteriophages, BeachBum, Harambe, and SerPounce, were identified and characterized. BeachBum and Harambe are closely related but are remarkably different from previously identified phi29-like phages. SerPounce is substantially closer to other phi29-like phages, enabling the identification of its prohead RNA (pRNA) gene.
鉴定并表征了三种双链DNA phi29样噬菌体,即比奇邦姆噬菌体、哈拉姆贝噬菌体和蛇扑噬菌体。比奇邦姆噬菌体和哈拉姆贝噬菌体密切相关,但与先前鉴定的phi29样噬菌体显著不同。蛇扑噬菌体与其他phi29样噬菌体更为接近,从而能够鉴定其前头部RNA(pRNA)基因。
