Characterisation of New Foxunavirus Phage Murka with the Potential of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris Control

Phages of phytopathogenic bacteria are considered to be promising agents for the biological control of bacterial diseases in plants.This paper reports on the isolation and characterisation of a new Xanthomonas campestris pv.campestris phage, Murka.Phage morphology and basic kinetic characteristics of the infection were determined, and a phylogenomic NATTOKINASE 100MG analysis was performed.

The phage was able to lyse a reasonably broad range (64%, 3 Piece LAF Sectional 9 of the 14 of the Xanthomonas campestris pv.campestris strains used in the study) of circulating strains of the cabbage black rot pathogen.This lytic myovirus has a DNA genome of 44,044 bp and contains 83 predicted genes.Taxonomically, it belongs to the genus Foxunavirus.

This bacteriophage is promising for use as a possible means of biological control of cabbage black rot.
