Abstract
This work describes the characterization and genome annotation of a new lytic phage, vB_EtaM_ET-ABTNL-9 (referred to as PETp9), isolated from waste water samples collected in Dalian, China, that can kill bacteria of the species Edwardsiella tarda. The genome of phage PETp9 is a circular double-stranded DNA molecule that is 89,762 bp in length with a G+C content of 37.26%, contains 132 ORFs, and encodes one tRNA. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that phage PETp9 should be considered a novel phage.
