Fig. 5

Vertically transmitted bifidophages from mothers to newborns. Indicated at the top of the figure are the genomic maps of the identified B. longum phage 10029 and 10035. The modular genomic structure is indicated by different patterns, which specifies their predicted function (violet, lysogeny module; blue, DNA replication; red, DNA packaging and head; green, tail and tail fiber; yellow, lysis module; black arrows, hypothetical protein; grey arrows, similar to bacterial protein). On the bottom are reported the presence of the phage within the mother’s and infant’s metagenomic samples through PCR analysis. Primer sequences are reported in Additional file 1: Table S5
