A temperate phage (termed AmM-1) was identified from the psychrotolerant Rhizobiales bacteriumAurantimonassp. C5-1, which was isolated from bathypelagic water (water depth = 1,500 m) in the northwest Pacific. The AmM-1 genome is 47,800 bp in length and contains 67 coding sequences. Although phage AmM-1 morphologically belongs to the familyMyoviridae, its genomic structure, particularly modular genome organization, is similar to that of lambda-type phages ofSiphoviridae. Genetic and phylogenetic analyses of the structural core genes also revealed that AmM-1 has a mosaic genomic structure that includes a lambda-like head (Siphoviridae) and P2-like tail (Myoviridae). The sequences of the structural core genes of AmM-1 are distinct from those of previously characterized phage groups but similar to those of recently identified one prophage element and one phage of marine Rhizobiales bacteria: a potential prophage element in the marine psychrotolerantAureimonas ureilyticaDSM 18598 genome and the temperate phage RR-1A infectingRhizobium radiobacterP007 isolated from deep subseafloor sediment. The mosaic genome structure of AmM-1 suggests the occurrence of genetic exchange between distinct temperate phages in marine Rhizobiales populations.
