# Genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a new bacteriophage that infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from sewage in India.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the isolation and genome sequencing of a new Pseudomonas phage with lytic properties.

## Key findings

- The phage SW_PA2862_7_24 has a double-stranded DNA genome of 92,798 bp.
- The genome has a GC content of 49.35% and shows similarity to Pseudomonas phage PJNP029.
- The phage exhibits prolate myovirus-like morphology.

## Abstract

We describe the isolation of Pseudomonas phage SW_PA2862_7_24, a lytic bacteriophage, from sewage water in Manipal, India. It has a double-stranded DNA genome of 92,798 bp in length with a GC content of 49.35%, and the annotated genome shows similarity to Pseudomonas phage PJNP029, consistent with its prolate myovirus-like morphology.
