Listeria phage A511 is a virus of the family Myoviridae, genus Twortlikevirus.[1][2]
As a member of the group I of the Baltimore classification, Listeria phage A511 is a dsDNA viruses. All the Myoviridae family members share a nonenveloped morphology consisting of a head and a tail separated by a neck. Its genome is linear. The propagation of the virions includes the attaching to a host cell (a bacteria, as Listeria phage A511 is a bacteriophage) and the injection of the double stranded DNA; the host transcribes and translates it to manufacture new particles. To replicate its genetic content requires host cell DNA polymerases and, hence, the process is highly dependent on the cell cycle.[3]
Its genome contains 134,494 base pairs coding 190 putative open reading frames (ORFs) and 16 tRNA genes.[4]
