A notable advantage of this genome-by-genome approach, however, is that individual phages with sequenced genomes become available for further genetic, biochemical and structural dissection. Although most known phages harbour genomes that are shorter than 200 kb packaged into capsids with a diameter under 100 , more and more extremely large phages are being discovered. It is therefore not surprising that phages sometimes encode their own restriction systems, toxin-antitoxin systems, and immunity systems stolen from other bacteriophages [20]. PubMed Nilsson, A.

Newly acquired DNA thus provides a reservoir of genetic information for potential future use, rather than being selected for immediate utility.

Biol. Microbial ecology provides a framework for considering this, in that constant infection of bacteria by bacteriophages provides a strong selection for phage resistance, coupled with the necessity to evolve phage variants that overcome resistance.

WebEnterobacteria Phage T2 As the T2 bacteriophage consists of only two components, they selectively labelled the DNA with radioactive 32P, and (in a separate batch) the proteins with 35S. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) was first described in 1952 when it was found in the genomes of T-even bacteriophages (T2 and T4). Perhaps the most striking feature emerging from phage genome comparative analyses is that they are pervasively mosaic with different segments having distinct evolutionary histories [23]. Phage genomes are mosaic, but not all genes in a given genome participate in mosaicism to the same degree. The phage can attach to the surface of a bacterium using the proteins on its 'feet' (tail fibers), and inject its genetic material (either DNA or RNA). T2 phage had very high genomic sequence similarity to SV76 (99.99% identity), so we performed host range analysis of T2 with the same bacteria strains to see whether the genomic similarity translated to host range phenotypic similarity.

Khan Academy In a few cases, enzymatic or even biological functions have been found for non-core genes, and some of these appear to provide small, non-essential benefits to phage growth or to be essential only in certain hosts or environments [37].
