The novel Escherichia phage vB_EcoM-RPN242 was isolated using a strain of Escherichia coli originating from a diarrheic piglet as a host. The phage was able to form plaques on the E. coli lawn at 15-45 °C. Moreover, it was stable over a wide pH (4-10) and temperature (4-70 °C) range. The vB_EcoM-RPN242 genome was found to be a linear, double-stranded DNA consisting of 154,840 base pairs. There were 195 protein-encoding genes and two tRNAs detected in the genome; however, no genes associated with virulence, toxins or antimicrobial resistance were found. According to overall nucleotide sequence comparisons, vB_EcoM-RPN242 possibly represents a new species in the genus Agtrevirus.
新型大肠杆菌噬菌体 vB_EcoM-RPN242 是利用一株来源于腹泻仔猪的大肠杆菌作为宿主分离得到的。该噬菌体能够在 15-45°C 的大肠杆菌菌苔上形成噬菌斑。此外,它在较宽的 pH(4-10)和温度(4-70°C)范围内稳定。vB_EcoM-RPN242 基因组是一条线性双链 DNA,由 154840 个碱基对组成。在基因组中检测到 195 个蛋白编码基因和两个 tRNA;然而,没有发现与毒力、毒素或抗药性相关的基因。根据总体核苷酸序列比较,vB_EcoM-RPN242 可能代表 Agtrevirus 属中的一个新种。
