An active prophage, Vibrio phage ValM-yong1, was isolated from pathogenic Vibrio alginolyticus by mitomycin C induction. This phage is a member of the family Myoviridae and contains a head approximately 90 nm in diameter and a retractable tail approximately 250 nm in length. The genome of the phage is 33,851 bp in length with a G+C content of 45.6%. The noteworthy features of Vibrio phage ValM-yong1 are its flower-like head and genomic mosaicism. Here, we focus on presenting the genomic characterization of the virus.
一种活性噬菌体,即鳗弧菌噬菌体 ValM-yong1,通过丝裂霉素 C 诱导从致病性鳗弧菌中分离出来。该噬菌体属于肌尾噬菌体科,其头部直径约为 90nm,可伸缩的尾部长度约为 250nm。噬菌体基因组全长 33851bp,GC 含量为 45.6%。鳗弧菌噬菌体 ValM-yong1 的显著特征是其花瓣状头部和基因组镶嵌性。在这里,我们主要介绍该病毒的基因组特征。
