| Research Abstract |
Based on DNA microarray analysis, 343 genes encoded by R.solanacearum jumbo phage φRSL1 were characterized to be expressed in the early, early-intermediate, intermediadte-late, and late stages. The φRSL1 genome consists of four gene-cluster regions where region I mainly contains early-intermediate genes, while most intermediate-late genes are located within regions II and IV. Bacterial cells infected with φRSL1 were steadily maintained at a low level of cell density over a long period. Under these conditions, 12 φRSL1 genes were shown to be highly expressed and regulate the host growth.
