A bacteriophage infecting <i>Mesorhizobium</i> species has a prolate capsid and shows similarities to a family of <i>Caulobacter crescentus</i> phages
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mesorhizobium phage vB_MloS_Cp1R7A-A1 was isolated from soil planted with chickpea in Saskatchewan. It is dissimilar in sequence and morphology to previously described rhizobiophages. It is a B3 morphotype virus with a distinct prolate capsid and belongs to the tailed phage family Siphoviridae. Its genome has a GC content of 60.3% and 238 predicted genes. Putative functions were predicted for 57 genes, which include 27 tRNA genes with anticodons corresponding to 18 amino acids. This represents the highest number of tRNA genes reported yet in a rhizobiophage. The gene arrangement shows a partially modular organization. Most of the structural genes are found in one module, whereas tRNA genes are in another. Genes for replication, recombination, and nucleotide metabolism form the third module. The arrangement of the replication module resembles the replication module of Enterobacteria phage T5, raising the possibility that it uses a recombination-based replication mechanism, but there is also a suggestion that a T7-like replication mechanism could be used. Phage termini appear to be long direct repeats of just over 12 kb in length. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Cp1R7A-A1 is more closely related to PhiCbK-like Caulobacter phages and other B3 morphotype phages than to other rhizobiophages sequenced thus far.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
