I am currently digging through literature to try to figure out why a holin gene is present in some phages but not others. The gene seems essential for host cell lysis with how it works with endolysins. The phage I am working with is a B1 phage, and so far no holin gene has been found in this subcluster. Does anyone have any insight on why some phages have holin genes and others don't? |
