摘要: To avoid the negative effects of antibiotics, using phage to prevent animal disease becomes a promising method in aquaculture. Here, a lytic phage provisionally named vB_VcaS_HC that can infect the pathogen (i.e.,Vibrio campbellii18) of prawn was isolated. The phage has an isometric head and a non-contractile tail. During phage infection, the induced host mortality in 5.5 h reached ca. 96%, with a latent period of 1.5 h and a burst size of 172 PFU/cell. It has an 81,566 bp circular dsDNA genome containing 121 open reading frames (ORFs), and ca. 71% of the ORFs are functionally unknown. Comparative genomic and phylogenetic analysis revealed that it is a novel phage belonging toDelepquintavirus,Siphoviridae,Caudovirales. In the phage genome, besides the ordinary genes related to structure assembly and DNA metabolism, there are 10 auxiliary metabolic genes. For the first time, the pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) gene was found in phages whose product is a key rate-limiting enzyme involving Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) reaction. Interestingly, although the phage has a strong bactericidal activity and contains a potential lysogeny related gene, i.e., the recombinase (RecA) gene, we did not find the phage turned into a lysogenic state. Meanwhile, the phage genome does not contain any bacterial virulence gene or antimicrobial resistance gene. This study represents the first comprehensive characterization of a lyticV. campbelliiphage and indicates that it is a promising candidate for the treatment ofV. campbelliiinfections.
