Article Abstract
A jumbo bacteriophage, , infecting pv. oryzae was isolated from rice fields in China. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this phage, revealing that it had a linear double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecule 232,104 bp long, with a G+C content of 58%. It has 251 annotated protein-coding sequences.

Background: Therapeutic options against metallo-β-lactamase producing P. aeruginosa (MBL-PA) are limited due to multi-drug resistance. A jumbo phage isolated from wastewater in Greece was characterized microbiologically and genetically and evaluated for its potential as a therapeutic agent alone or in combination with antibiotics in an experimental thigh infection mouse model.

Jumbo phages have potentials for uncovering phage diversity. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two jumbo phages, ΦNK1 and ΦBrmt, isolated from waste water in Japan. To explore their molecular characteristics, whole phage genomes were sequenced and assembled via the short- and long-read platforms.

Many eukaryotic viruses require membrane-bound compartments for replication, but no such organelles are known to be formed by prokaryotic viruses. Bacteriophages of the Chimalliviridae family sequester their genomes within a phage-generated organelle, the phage nucleus, which is enclosed by a lattice of the viral protein ChmA. We show that inhibiting phage nucleus formation arrests infections at an early stage in which the injected phage genome is enclosed within a membrane-bound early phage infection (EPI) vesicle.
