Abstract
A novel bacteriophage, PA-1, was isolated using Pantoea ananatis, a bacterium that is responsible for rice leaf blight worldwide, as the host. PA-1 has a linear genome of 46,332 bp with a GC content of 50.55%. It contains 83 protein-encoding genes, and no tRNA-encoding genes were detected. The genome is densely organized, with an average CDS size of 516 bp, and 92.38% of the genome consists of protein-coding regions. Whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic and morphological analysis showed that PA-1 is a novel phage that is phylogenetically distinct, suggesting that it may represent a new genus within the class Caudoviricetes.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
