Published: November 2021

Bacteriophages play important roles in determining bacterial communities, including plant microbiota. Here, we describe four lytic phages, three and one , isolated from four different bacterial species found on the leaves of horse chestnut trees. Their double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes range from 39,095 to 46,062 bp and contain 51 to 70 genes.

Article Synopsis
  • The Taishu horse, a native Japanese breed, faces extinction, making it crucial to identify genes responsible for its unique traits to conserve its genetic diversity.
  • In a study of 56 Taishu horses, only three out of nine genes studied were found to have polymorphisms, influencing traits like coat color but not body composition or gait.
  • The findings emphasize the need for targeted breeding strategies to preserve rare phenotype traits in Taishu horses, which could also support the conservation of other endangered Japanese horse breeds.
