richard	Hello! I am curious if anyone working with Microbacterium phages has any information about which clusters can or can't form lysogens. Thanks, -Rick Alvey Illinois Wesleyan University

debbie	Rick, Hi. You can find out which clusters of actinobacteriophages are predicted to be temperate by checking the cluster list. http://phagesdb.org/clusters/ There can always be exceptions, but the clues will be present in the genomes. My student researchers have been looking for lysogens by microbacterium phages for a while now. To date, we have one. It appears Zeta1847 forms lysogens. It is a M. paraoxydans phage. debbie Edited 28 Oct, 2018 14:41
