Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Phage Pisces

Abstract

Podophage Pisces was isolated against Escherichia coli strain 4s from wastewater samples. Pisces is a T7-like phage, and all 49 predicted protein-coding genes in it are present on a single strand and are surrounded by 190-bp terminal repeats. Due to its similarity to other T7-like phages, 61% of Pisces genes were assigned a predicted function. Podophage Pisces was isolated against Escherichia coli strain 4s from wastewater samples.
