Genome sequence of phage øR3-PR2, a
Cereibacter sphaeroides
phage isolated from water reservoirs in Puerto Rico
Moisés De Jesús-Cruz, María Fernanda Rojas-Duran, Josue Rodríguez-Ramos, Carlos Rios-Velazquez ABSTRACT
A DNA-containing
Cereibacter sphaeroides
phage, designated øR3-PR2, was isolated from water collected from an irrigation canal in Puerto Rico. øR3-PR2 can infect
C. sphaeroides
7001 and 2.4.1 under aerobic conditions. The φR3-PR2 genome is 52,678 bp long, has a 52.26% G + C content, and encodes 85 predicted protein-coding genes and 1 tRNA-Leu.
