Comparative genomic analysis of 18 Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophages

J Bacteriol. 2006 Feb;188(3):1184-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.188.3.1184-1187.2006.

Abstract

A genomic analysis of 18 P. aeruginosa phages, including nine newly sequenced DNA genomes, indicates a tremendous reservoir of proteome diversity, with 55% of open reading frames (ORFs) being novel. Comparative sequence analysis and ORF map organization revealed that most of the phages analyzed displayed little relationship to each other.
