Sequencing Bacillus anthracis Typing Phages Gamma and Cherry Reveals a Common Ancestry
J Bacteriol. 2006 May 01; 188(9): 3402-8.
Abstract
The genetic relatedness of the Bacillus anthracis typing phages Gamma and Cherry was determined by nucleotide sequencing and comparative analysis. The genomes of these two phages were identical except at three variable loci, which showed heterogeneity within individual lysates and among Cherry, Wbeta, Fah, and four Gamma bacteriophage sequences.
