Enterobacteria Phage SV76 Host Range and Genomic Characterization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing the quantity and detail of bacteriophage genomic data is critical to broadening our understanding of how bacteriophages operate to allow us to harness their unique properties for biotechnology advancements. Here we present the complete sequence of phage SV76's assembled and annotated genome (Accession OM339528). SV76 has previously been classified as a T4-like bacteriophage belonging to the Tequatrovirus genus within the Myoviridae family of contractile tailed bacteriophages.

Materials and methods

Whole genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation was performed on SV76. Double-agar spot assays were utilized to determine SV76's host range against a panel of 72 Escherichia coli isolates meant to represent the diversity of E. coli
