Abstract |
|---|
Active filamentous phage particles were isolated from the deep-sea bacterium Shewanella piezotolerans WP3. A putative ssDNA binding protein of the phage was found over-expressed at 4°C versus 25°C by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR further revealed that the key genes of SW1 were significantly induced at low temperature.
