A complete genome of an obligately lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage, Minga-mokiny 4

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We report the isolation of a bacteriophage with obligately lytic activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa from wastewater. The reported phage, Minga-mokiny 4, appears to belong to the Schitoviridae family, is of the Litunavirus genus, and has a 72,362-bp genome. No known genes associated with lysogeny, bacterial resistance, or virulence were predicted.
