Integration and distribution of Lactobacillus johnsonii prophages

J Bacteriol. 2003 Aug;185(15):4603-8. doi: 10.1128/JB.185.15.4603-4608.2003.

Abstract

In Lactobacillus johnsonii strain NCC533, two prophages were integrated into tRNA genes and one was disrupted by integration. In a survey, the prophages were restricted to strains sharing an essentially identical restriction pattern. Microarray analysis showed that the prophage DNA represents about 50% of the NCC533 strain-specific DNA.
