Abstract

Phage ZPAH7, isolated from a sediment sample from a fish farm, is a novel lytic phage belonging to the Podoviridae family. It produces large plaques (3.5 ± 0.2 mm) with halo zones (10.5 ± 0.5 mm), suggesting it has the ability to depolymerize exopolysaccharides and biofilms. It has a 30,791-bp genome encoding 29 putative coding sequences.
