Substantiation of propitious "Enzybiotic" from two novel bacteriophages isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in Qatar.

ABSTRACT: Lysin of bacteriophages isolated from a particular ecosystem could be inducted as a bio-controlling tool against the inhabiting pathogenic bacterial strains. Our study aims at both experimental and computational characterization of the identical lysin gene product inherent in the genomes of two novel Myoviridae bacteriophages, Escherichia Phage C600M2 (GenBank accession number OK040807, Protein ID: UCJ01465) and Escherichia Phage CL1 (GenBank Genome accession number OK040806.1, Protein ID: UCJ01321) isolated from wastewater collected from the main water treatment plant in Qatar. The lysin protein, evinced to be a globular N-acetyl-muramidase with intrinsic "cd00737: endolysin_autolysin" domain, was further expressed and purified to be experimentally validated by turbidimetric assay for its
