Mycobacterium Virus D29
Mycobacterium virus D29 (D29) is a cluster A mycobacteriophage. It was discovered in 1954 by S. Froman.

Caudoviricetes
''Caudoviricetes'' is a class of viruses known as tailed viruses and head-tail viruses (''cauda'' is Latin for "tail"). It is the sole representative of its own phylum, ''Uroviricota'' (from ''ouros'' (ουρος), a Greek word for "tailed" + -viricota). Under the Baltimore classification scheme, the ''Caudoviricetes'' are group I viruses as they have double stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes, which can be anywhere from 18,000 base pairs to 500,000 base pairs in length. The virus particles have a distinct shape; each virion has an icosahedral head that contains the viral genome, and is attached to a flexible tail by a connector protein. The order encompasses a wide range of viruses, many containing genes of similar nucleotide sequence and function. However, some tailed bacteriophage genomes can vary quite significantly in nucleotide sequence, even among the same genus. Due to their characteristic structure and possession of potentially homologous genes, it is believed these viruse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fromanvirus
''Fromanvirus'' (synonyms ''L5-like viruses'', ''L5-like phages'', ''L5likevirus'') is a genus of viruses in the class ''Caudoviricetes'', unassigned to a family. Bacteria serve as natural hosts, with transmission achieved through passive diffusion. There are 39 species in this genus. Taxonomy The following species are recognized: * '' Fromanvirus alma'' * '' Fromanvirus astro'' * '' Fromanvirus bethlehem'' * '' Fromanvirus billknuckles'' * '' Fromanvirus bpbiebs31'' * '' Fromanvirus bruns'' * '' Fromanvirus Bxb1'' * '' Fromanvirus Che12'' * '' Fromanvirus D29'' * '' Fromanvirus doom'' * '' Fromanvirus euphoria'' * '' Fromanvirus george'' * '' Fromanvirus goose'' * '' Fromanvirus jasper'' * '' Fromanvirus JC27'' * '' Fromanvirus KBG'' * '' Fromanvirus kssjeb'' * '' Fromanvirus kugel'' * '' Fromanvirus L5'' * '' Fromanvirus lesedi'' * '' Fromanvirus lockley'' * '' Fromanvirus marcell'' * '' Fromanvirus mrgordo'' * '' Fromanvirus museum'' * '' Fromanvirus nepal'' * '' Fromanvirus p ...

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Bacteria, The Cause Of TB (5149398656)
''Mycobacterium'' is a genus of over 190 species in the phylum Actinomycetota, assigned its own family, Mycobacteriaceae. This genus includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis (''M. tuberculosis'') and leprosy (''M. leprae'') in humans. The Greek prefix ''myco-'' means 'fungus', alluding to this genus' mold-like colony surfaces. Since this genus has cell walls with a waxy lipid-rich outer layer containing high concentrations of mycolic acid, acid-fast staining is used to emphasize their resistance to acids, compared to other cell types. Mycobacterial species are generally aerobic, non-motile, and capable of growing with minimal nutrition. The genus is divided based on each species' pigment production and growth rate. While most ''Mycobacterium'' species are non-pathogenic, the genus' characteristic complex cell wall contributes to evasion from host defenses.
