Characteriza)on of Genomes Introduc)on Rhizobiophages are phages that infect members of the genera
Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Azorhizobium
Allorhizobium and Mesorhizobium, which are all capable of
nodulating and fixing nitrogen inside the nodules of legume plants.

PPF1
Genome sizes were estimated using pulsed field gel
electrophoresis. Sanger sequencing and Ion-Torrent
sequencing techniques were used to sequence the
complete genomes of L338C and P106B, while
PPF1 phage genome was sequenced using 454
pyrosequencing.

We have isolated a number of rhizobiophages that infect different
rhizobial hosts such as R. leguminosarum, R. gallicum and M. loti. Genome size (bp)
• 
This study aims to expand our knowledge on rhizobiophage diversity
by characterizing those phage isolates, including the whole genome
sequencing of selected phages.
