Genome sequence of the Bacteroides fragilis phage ATCC 51477-B1

Abstract

The genome of a fecal pollution indicator phage, Bacteroides fragilis ATCC 51477-B1, was sequenced and consisted of 44,929 bases with a G+C content of 38.7%. Forty-six putative open reading frames were identified and genes were organized into functional clusters for host specificity, lysis, replication and regulation, and packaging and structural proteins. © 2008 Hawkins et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
