Abstract

Vibrio alginolyticus causes substantial economic losses in the aquaculture industry. With the rise of multidrug-resistant Vibrio strains, phages present a promising solution. Here, a novel lytic Vibrio phage, vB_ValC_RH2G (RH2G), that efficiently infects the pathogenic strain V. alginolyticus ATCC 17749T, was isolated from mixed wastewater from an aquatic market in Xiamen, China. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that RH2G has the morphology of Siphoviruses, featuring an icosahedral head (73 ± 2 nm diameter) and long noncontractile tail (142 ± 4 nm). A one-step growth experiment showed that RH2G had a short latent period (10 min) and a burst size of 48 phage particles per infected cell. Additionally, RH2G was highly species-specific and was relatively stable at 4–55 °C and pH 4–10. A genomic analysis showed that RH2G has a 116,749 bp double-stranded DNA genome with 43.76% GC content. The intergenomic similarity between the genome sequence of RH2G and other phages recorded in the GenBank database was below 38.8%, suggesting that RH2G represents a new genus. RH2G did not exhibit any virulence or resistance genes. Its rapid lysis capacity, lytic activity, environmental resilience, and genetic safety suggested that RH2G may be a safe candidate for phage therapy in combatting vibriosis in aquaculture settings.
