Phage genomics and application, Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures
Involved in the Z-Projekt – Bacteriophage Repository, Services and Databank Development of the Science Priority Program 2330 of the DFG (https://spp2330.de)
The Z project provide essential service functions for all participating groups of the SPP and access to state-of-the-art methodologies for studying all relevant aspects of the biology of prokaryotic viruses and will also be in charge of the long-term conservation, quality control and distribution of the isolated bioresources and their data.
Besides isolation of new viruses, the main services within the SPP comprise different aspects of phage biology, including host spectra analyses, growth/lysis kinetics and parameters (burst size, efficiency of plating, etc.), the analysis of phage-host interactions like adsorption at receptors, virus structure via transmission electron microscopy, as well as genomics of both host organisms and bacteriophages.
Another major goal of the Z project conducted at the DSMZ is the development of a new virus-related database, PhageDive. Built on the BacDive model, it gathers and links all the experimental data and metadata (e.g., geographical origin, isolation source) of viruses present in different culture collections. PhageDive aims to facilitate access to all virus information for the scientific community. The database provides information on the taxonomy, host strains, phage morphology, life cycle, origin and genomic data. PhageDive is now available (https://phagedive.dsmz.de). In the coming months, the data included will be extended to other culture collections and research group willing to participate in this project and additional features will be developed based on user feedback.
