productive infection and transduction by bacteriophage p1 in the species salmonella bongori
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the most important mechanism in the evolution of new genetic capabilities in bacteria, including specific degradative pathways, virulence factors, and resistance to antibiotics. Among the processes involved in HGT, transduction is noteworthy. This is a mechanism for gene transmission mediated by a bacteriophage that functions both as a reservoir and as a vector of exogenous genes, which remain protected from environmental effects in the bacteriophage's capsid. Within this context, this investigation aimed to evaluate the ability of the generalized transducing bacteriophage P1 to productively infect and transduce in the bacterial species Salmonella bongori. Results We could establish that a derivative of bacteriophage P1, P1Cm, infects strains of S. bongori with frequencies of lysogenization in the order of ~ 10−2 lysogens/UFP. Through thermal induction, infective viral progeny was obtained, and we could show that P1Cm readily formed plaques on S. bongori lawns, a phenomenon thus far not reported for other members of the genus Salmonella. Finally, we showed P1Cm-mediated transduction of the model plasmid RP4 at frequencies of ~ 10−7 transductants/donor. Conclusion Therefore, bacteriophage P1 can be used as a tool for the genetic manipulation in the species S. bongori. How to cite: Riquelme NA, Leon MF, Santander JA, et al.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
