Bacteriophage lysis

Biocontrol of bacterial pathogens by bacteriophages (phages) represents a promising strategy. Vibrio alginolyticus, a gram-negative bacterium, is a notorious pathogen responsible for the loss of economically important farmed marine animals. To date, few V. alginolyticus phages have been successfully isolated, and only three complete genome sequences of them have been released. The limited available phage resources and poor genomic data hamper research on V. alginolyticus phages and their applications for the biocontrol of V. alginolyticus.

Spanins are phage lysis proteins required to disrupt the outer membrane. Phages employ either twocomponent spanins or unimolecular spanins in this final step of Gram-negative host lysis.
