Some phages from genus Inovirus use host or bacteriophage-encoded site-specific
integrases or recombinases establish a prophage state. During integration or excision, a …

The integration and excision of various filamentous phage genomes into and out of their
host chromosomes occurs by site-specific recombination. The mechanisms proposed for …

Bacteriophages put intense selective pressure on microbes, which must evolve diverse
resistance mechanisms to survive continuous phage attacks. We used a library of …

The genomic DNA sequences were determined for two filamentous integrative
bacteriophages, φRSS1 and φRSM1, of the phytopathogen Ralstonia solanacearum. The …

Aims: The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize new bacteriophages that infect a
wide range of plant pathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum strains. Methods and Results …

The filamentous φRSM phages (φRSM1 and φRSM3) have integration/excision capabilities
in the phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum. In the present study, we further …

Two prophages, called ϕRSM3 and ϕRSM4, that are closely related to, but differ from,
filamentous phage ϕRSM1, have been detected in strains of the Ralstonia solanacearum …

Four kinds of bacteriophage (φRSL, φRSA, φRSM and φRSS) were isolated from Ralstonia
solanacearum, a soil-borne Gram-negative bacterium that is the causative agent of bacterial …

Ralstonia solanacearum is the causative agent of bacterial wilt in many important crops.
φRSS1 is a filamentous phage that infects R. solanacearum strains. Upon infection, it alters …

ABSTRACT ϕRSM1 and ϕRSM3 (ϕRSM phages) are filamentous phages (inoviruses) that
infect Ralstonia solanacearum, the causative agent of bacterial wilt. Infection by ϕRSM …
