ABSTRACT
Morganella psychrotolerans is a histamine-producing bacterium that causes histamine poisoning. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel phage, MopsHU1, that infects M. psychrotolerans. MopsHU1 is a podovirus with a limited host spectrum. Genomic analysis showed that MopsHU1 belongs to the family Autographiviridae, subfamily Studiervirinae, and genus Kayfunavirus. Comparative analysis revealed that the MopsHU1 genome is similar to those of Citrobacter phage SH3 and Cronobacter phage Dev2. Moreover, the Escherichia coli phage K1F genome is also similar, except for its tailspike gene sequence. These results expand our understanding of the Kayfunavirus phages that infect Morganella spp. Note The nucleotide sequence data reported here are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database under the accession number LC799501.
