Genetic dissection of Mycobacteriophage D29 host lysis reveals two lysis regulators and a novel lipoprotein that regulate the lysis event and are localized to distinct regions of the genome

This study identifies two lysis regulators and a novel lipoprotein in Mycobacteriophage D29 that regulate lysis, showing distinct genetic and functional roles in the lysis process.

Genetic Analysis of F1 Cluster Phages that Infect Mycobacterium smegmatis Identifies Two Distinct Holin-Like Proteins that Regulate the Host Lysis Event

This study identifies two holin-like proteins in F1 cluster phages that regulate lysis of Mycobacterium smegmatis, showing their distinct roles and interactions in the lysis process.
