Complete genomic sequence of the Vibrio alginolyticus bacteriophage Vp670 and characterization of the lysis-related genes, cwlQ and holA.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biocontrol of bacterial pathogens by bacteriophages (phages) represents a promising strategy. Vibrio alginolyticus, a gram-negative bacterium, is a notorious pathogen responsible for the loss of economically important farmed marine animals. To date, few V. alginolyticus phages have been successfully isolated, and only three complete genome sequences of them have been released. The limited available phage resources and poor genomic data hamper research on V. alginolyticus phages and their applications for the biocontrol of V. alginolyticus.

Results

We isolated a phage, Vp670, against the V. alginolyticus strain E06333 and obtained its full genomic sequence. It contains 43,121 nucleotides with a GC content of 43.4%, and codes for 49 predicted open reading frames. Ob
