Characterization of a Functionally Unknown Arginine-Aspartate-Aspartate Family Protein From Halobacillus andaensis and Functional Analysis of Its Conserved Arginine/Aspartate Residues.

abstract：:A novel Podoviridae lytic phage AJO2, specifically infecting Acinetobacter johnsonii, was isolated from bulking activated sludge. The one-step growth experiment showed that the latent period and burst size of AJO2 were estimated to be 30 min and 78.1 phages per infected cell, respectively. The viability test indicated...
