Abstract:
Here, we report the genome sequence of bacteriophage Elbi, which infects the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, a model organism for prokaryotic multicellular development. The 68,626 bp encode 108 proteins, of which 31 can be assigned a function. Elbi is similar to two Anabaena myophages, namely, A-1 and N-1, isolated in the 1970s.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...

45.7K
The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
