Abstract

A novel temperate phage named vB_PstS-pAN was induced by mitomycin C treatment from the naphthalene-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri AN10. The phage particles have icosahedral heads and long non-contractile tails, and vB_PstS-pAN can therefore be morphologically classified as a member of the family Siphoviridae. The whole genome of vB_PstS-pAN is 39,466 bp in length, with an 11-nt 3' overhang cohesive end. There are 53 genes in the vB_PstS-pAN genome, including genes responsible for phage integration, replication, morphogenesis, and bacterial lysis. The vB_PstS-pAN genome has low similarity to other phage genomes in the GenBank database, suggesting that vB_PstS-pAN is a novel member of the family Siphoviridae.
