Isolation and genomic characterization of Psychrobacillus isolate L3 and bacteriophage Spoks: a new phage-host pair from Antarctic soil
The isolation and characterization of Psychrobacillus temperate phage Spoks and its host strain L3 from Antarctica highlight the potential for discovering novel biological entities divergent from their closest cultured relatives with relative ease, given access to such difficult-to-access undersampled environments, and are expected to encourage similar studies.
