| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ralstonia jumbo phages RSL2-RSL4 have been characterized for their genomic, proteomic, phylogenetic, and virological features. Phylogenetically, RSL2, RSL3, and RSL4 are closely related to Pseudomonas jumbo phage phiKZ, whereas RSL5 is similar to RSL1 and related to Bacillus phage G. These 4 phages share a common long-lasting infection cycle with host Ralstonia cells, which gives a huge advantage for them to be utilized as biocontrol agents with sustainable effects on plant diseases (bacterial wilt).
