Complete genome sequence of enterobacteria phage 4MG, a new member of the subgroup "PVP-SE1-like phage" of the "rV5-like viruses"

Arch Virol. 2014 Nov;159(11):3137-40. doi: 10.1007/s00705-014-2140-1. Epub 2014 Jun 18.

Abstract

A novel virulent enterobacteria phage, 4MG, which was isolated from soil near a sewer, belongs to the family Myoviridae, as it possesses an isometric head and a long contractile tail. The complete genome of 4MG consists of a double-stranded DNA with a length of 148,567 bp, a G + C content of 46.3 %, 271 open reading frames (ORFs), and 21 tRNAs. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that 4MG highly resembles "rV5-like viruses" but can be separated, together with Salmonella phage PVP-SE1 and Cronobacter sakazakii phage vB_CsaM_GAP31, as part of the subgroup "PVP-SE1-like phage".
