@article { , title = {Characterization of the Salmonella bacteriophage vB\_SenS-Ent1}, abstract = {The bacteriophage vB\_SenS-Ent1 (Ent1) is a member of the family Siphoviridae of tailed bacteriophages and infects a broad range of serovars of the enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica. The virion particle is composed of an icosahedral head 64 nm in diameter and a flexible, non-contractile tail of 116 × 8.5 nm possessing terminal fibres. The adsorption rate constant at 37 °C is 6.73 × 10−9 ml min−1. Latent and eclipse periods are 25 and 20 min, respectively, and the burst size is 35 progeny particles per cell after 35 min at 37 °C. Sequencing revealed a circularly permuted, 42 391 bp dsDNA genome containing 58 ORFs organized into four major transcriptional units. Comparisons with the genome sequences of other bacteriophages revealed a high level of nucleotide sequence identity and shared orthologous proteins with the Salmonella phages SETP3, SE2 and KS7 (SS3e) and the Escherichia phages K1G, K1H, K1ind1 and K1ind3.}, doi = {10.1099/vir.0.043331-0}, issn = {0022-1317}, issue = {9}, journal = {Journal of General Virology}, pages = {2046-2056}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Microbiology Society}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/944653}, volume = {93}, keyword = {Centre for Research in Biosciences, Salmonella, bacteriophage, vB_SenS-Ent1}, year = {2012}, author = {Turner, Dann and Hezwani, M and Nelson, Shona and Salisbury, Vyv and Reynolds, Darren M.} }
