摘要： Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a globally important bacterium related to climate warming and health threat to human and marine animals. Yet, there is limited knowledge about its polylysogeny harboring multiple prophages and the genetic information. In this study, two prophages (VPS05ph1 and VPS05ph2) were identified in a V. parahaemolyticus isolate through genomic and transcriptional analyses. Both prophages were determined as HP1-like phages, located in a novel phylogenetic lineage of Peduoviridae. They shared a moderate genome-wide sequence similarity with each other and high synteny with the closest relatives, but showed low identities to the repressor counterparts of the representative phages within the family. In addition, no bacterial virulence genes, antibiotic resistance genes and known phage-encoded lytic proteins were identified on both prophage genomes. Moreover, the V. parahaemolyticus isolate was induced with mitomycin, which caused aberrant cellular morphology and nonviability of bacterial cells and excision of prophage VPS05ph1, accompanied by the respective inhibition and promotion of transcriptions of the cI -like and cox -like regulator genes for phage decision making. Results in this study provide the genetic context of polylysogeny in the V. parahaemolyticus isolate, support the diversity and prevalence of HP1-like phages in vibrios, and promote to explore interactions between the HP1-like prophage and its vibrio host.
