Résumé

Members of the bacterial genus Aeromonas are important aquatic pathogens that cause severe fish diseases. Here, we characterize a novel lytic phage, Aeromonas virus phiA8-29, isolated from the alimentary tract of a freshwater fish. Transmission electron microscopy showed that phiA8-29 has a long contractile tail and thus can be classified as a member of the family Myoviridae. The phage genome was identified as a double-stranded DNA molecule of 144,974 bp containing 185 open reading frames and nine tRNA-encoding genes. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that the phiA8-29 genome has little similarity to any of the currently sequenced Aeromonas phage genomes. Our data indicate that phiA8-29 is a novel lytic Myoviridae phage that does not belong to any of the known genera.
