Abstract

Bacteriophage 8P was isolated with a Pseudomonas stutzeri strain isolated from an oil reservoir as its host bacterium. The phage genome comprises 63,753 base pairs with a G+C content of 64.35. The phage encodes 63 predicted proteins, and 27 of them were functionally assigned. No tRNA genes were found. Comparative genomics analysis showed that 8P displayed some relatedness to F116-like phages (78% identity, 20% query coverage). The genome has very low sequence similarity to the other phage genomes in the GenBank database and Viral Sequence Database. Based on whole-genome analysis and transmission electron microscopy imaging, 8P is proposed to be a member of a new species in the genus Hollowayvirus, family Podoviridae.
