Abstrakt: Bacteriophage L522, which infects Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, was isolated from a paddy leaf sample collected in Long An province, Vietnam. The phage shows myovirus morphology based on transmission electron microscopy. It displays a latent period and burst size of approximately 3 h and 63 new virions per infected cell (PFU/infected cell), respectively. The genome of L522 is 44,497 bp in length, with 52% GC content. Of the 63 genes identified, functions were predicted for 26. No virulence or antibiotic-resistance genes were detected. The results of a BLASTn search showed similarity to a previously reported Xanthomonas phage, with 85% average nucleotide sequence identity and 87.15% query coverage. Thus, this L522 is a representative of a new species in the genus Xipdecavirus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
