A bacteriophage infecting Edwardsiella tarda (named pEt-SU) was isolated from freshwater collected in Chung-ju, South Korea. The whole genome of pEt-SU was 276,734 bp in length, representing the first giant phage infecting Edwardsiella reported to date. A total of 284 putative open reading frames were predicted and annotated. Morphology and genome analyses verified that pEt-SU may be distantly related to the phiKZ-like phages, a well-known giant myovirus. The findings in this study provide new insights into the phages infecting E. tarda ads well as fundamental data for the study of giant phages.

噬菌体pEt-SU的基因组表征，一种新型的与phiKZ相关的病毒，感染了爱德华氏菌。

从韩国忠州收集的淡水中分离出一种感染爱德华氏菌的噬菌体（命名为pEt-SU）。pEt-SU的整个基因组的长度为276,734 bp，代表了迄今为止报道的第一个感染爱德华氏菌的巨噬细胞。总共284个推定的开放阅读框架得到了预测和注释。形态学和基因组分析证实，pEt-SU可能与著名的巨肌病毒phiKZ样噬菌体遥相关。这项研究的发现为噬菌体感染塔氏大肠杆菌广告提供了新的见解，并为巨噬细胞的研究提供了基础数据。
