In this paper, I describe the genomic characteristics of a Ralstonia phage infecting Ralstonia solanacearum. The Ralstonia phage RPSC1 was isolated from a soil sample collected in Sichuan Province, in southwestern China. The complete genome of RPSC1 is composed of a linear double-stranded DNA 39,628 bp in length, with G+C content of 61.55%, and 43 putative protein-coding genes. All the putative protein-coding genes were on the same strand. No tRNA-encoding genes were identified. Phylogenetic and comparative genomics analyses indicate that Ralstonia phage RPSC1 should be considered a new member of the family Podoviridae. The wide host range contributes to the potential of Ralstonia phage RPSC1 as a biocontrol agent.
在本文中，我描述了一种感染青枯雷尔氏菌的雷尔氏菌噬菌体的基因组特征。雷尔氏菌噬菌体RPSC1是从中国西南部四川省采集的土壤样本中分离出来的。RPSC1的完整基因组由一条长度为39,628 bp的线性双链DNA组成，G+C含量为61.55%，有43个推定的蛋白质编码基因。所有推定的蛋白质编码基因都在同一条链上。未鉴定到编码tRNA的基因。系统发育和比较基因组学分析表明，雷尔氏菌噬菌体RPSC1应被视为短尾噬菌体科的一个新成员。广泛的宿主范围赋予了雷尔氏菌噬菌体RPSC1作为生物防治剂的潜力。
