- Abstract
In this paper, I describe the genomic characteristics of a Ralstonia phage infecting Ralstonia solanacearum. The Ralstonia phage RPSC1 was isolated from a soil sample collected in Sichuan Province, in southwestern China. The complete genome of RPSC1 is composed of a linear double-stranded DNA 39,628 bp in length, with G+C content of 61.55%, and 43 putative protein-coding genes. All the putative protein-coding genes were on the same strand. No tRNA-encoding genes were identified. Phylogenetic and comparative genomics analyses indicate that Ralstonia phage RPSC1 should be considered a new member of the family Podoviridae. The wide host range contributes to the potential of Ralstonia phage RPSC1 as a biocontrol agent.
