摘要: Widely studied Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains ATCC 14028s and SL1344 harbor a cryptic ST64B prophage unable to produce infectious virions. We found that coculturing either strain with an isogenic sibling lacking the leads appearance of active forms virus. Active phage originates from reversion +1 frameshift mutation at monotonous G:C run in presumptive tail assembly pseudogene.
