Abstract

A novel lytic phage named vB_AfaP_QDWS595 infecting Alcaligenes faecalis was isolated and characterized in this study. The genome of phage vB_AfaP_QDWS595 was sequenced and analyzed, and the result revealed that the phage contained 70,466 bp of double-stranded DNA with 41.12% GC content. There were 74 putative genes encoding proteins as well as 11 tRNAs predicted in the phage genome. Phenotype and phylogeny analysis indicated that this phage might be a new member of the family Schitoviridae.
