<i>Pantoea</i> Bacteriophage vB_PagS_MED16—A Siphovirus Containing a 2′-Deoxy-7-amido-7-deazaguanosine-Modified DNA

A novel siphovirus, vB_PagS_MED16 (MED16) was isolated in Lithuania using <i>Pantoea agglomerans</i> strain BSL for the phage propagation. The double-stranded DNA genome of MED16 (46,103 bp) contains 73 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) encoding proteins, but no tRNA. Our comparative...
