Abstract | Pseudoalteromonas is a bacterial genus widely distributed in marine ecosystems. We present the genome characterization of the lytic Pseudoalteromonas virus vB_PspP-H6/1 that infects Pseudoalteromonas
sp. strain H6. The virus and its host were both isolated from seawater
collected from the North Sea near the island Helgoland, Germany, in the
1970s. The virus particle consists of a ~56 nm diameter icosahedral
capsid and a short tail with a length of ~15 nm. The linear dsDNA genome
has a size of 36,753 bp and a GC content of 45%. Genome organization
was related to P22-like viruses with approximately 40% nucleotide
identity to other P22-like viruses over the whole genome. These
findings, together with the phylogenetic analysis, suggest Pseudoalteromonas
virus vB_PspP-H6/1 is a marine P22-like virus. The study of such
viruses originating from a host so far not known for P22-like viruses
will extend the information about origin and evolution of P22-like
viruses. |
