TL;DR
This paper reports the full genome sequence of a new bacteriophage that infects Enterococcus faecalis, isolated from a cockle storage container in Malaysia.
Contribution
The study provides the complete genome sequence of a novel lytic phage, EF_RCK, and identifies its genetic similarity to another known phage.
Findings
The phage EF_RCK has a 57,848-bp double-stranded DNA genome.
It contains 107 protein-encoding genes.
It shares 90.9% nucleotide similarity with Enterococcus phage EFKL.
Abstract
A lytic bacteriophage EF_RCK infecting Enterococcus faecalis was isolated from a water sample collected in a raw cockle storage container at Taman Ria market, Sungai Petani, Malaysia. The phage has a 57,848-bp double-stranded DNA genome harboring 107 protein-encoding genes and shares 90.9% nucleotide similarity with Enterococcus phage EFKL (Saphexavirus genus).
