A novel lytic siphophage, PLG-II, which is specific for Lactococcus garvieae serotype II strains that are pathogenic to fish, was isolated from seawater samples collected from Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Whole-genome sequencing showed that the PLG-II genome is a 32,271-bp double-stranded DNA molecule, with an average GC content of 37.74%. It contains 69 open reading frames (ORFs), 43 of which currently have no reliable functional annotation for their product, as well as a single tRNA. Comparative genomics analysis suggests that phage PLG-II might represent a novel species in the genus Uwajimavirus.
从日本宫崎县采集的海水中分离到一株针对鱼类致病菌乳球菌 II 型的新型裂解性 siphophage，命名为 PLG-II。全基因组测序表明，PLG-II 基因组是一个 32271bp 的双链 DNA 分子，平均 GC 含量为 37.74%。它包含 69 个开放阅读框（ORFs），其中 43 个 ORF 的产物目前没有可靠的功能注释，此外还有一个单一的 tRNA。比较基因组学分析表明，噬菌体 PLG-II 可能代表 Uwajimavirus 属中的一个新种。
