Complete genome sequence of EtG, the first phage sequenced from Erwinia tracheiphila

Abstract

Erwinia tracheiphila is the causal agent of bacterial wilt of cucurbits. Here, we report the genome sequence of the temperate phage EtG, which was isolated from an E. tracheiphila-infected cucumber plant. Phage EtG has a linear 30,413-bp doublestranded DNA genome with cohesive ends and 45 predicted open reading frames.
