- Abstract
Pectobacterium atrosepticum is a pectolytic enterobacterium that causes blackleg in plants. Bacteriophage Peat2 was isolated from P. atrosepticum infected potato tissue and its genome sequenced. Analysis of the 48,659 bp genome revealed that Peat2 resembles the Myoviridae family Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteriophage JD001 and includes a CRISPR Cas 4 RecB-like nuclease. A lytic bacteriophage, Peat2 details provide important information for application as a biocontrol agent of disease caused by phytopathogenic P. atrosepticum.
