Draft genome sequence data of a T7like phage 3A_8767 isolated from wastewater of a butcher house near Palar river.

Phage 3A_8767 is a newly isolates phage from river water sample against Salmonella typhi 8767 (MTCC). The genome of the phage is linear, double stranded and 38,821 bp long in size. A total 49 functional ORF (open reading frame) were annotated and no tRNA was predicted. Phage 3A_8767 has icosahedral shaped head with stubby tail which comes under family Podoviridae, and genera T7 like virus.

Data description

Bacteriophage 3A_8767 was isolated from butcher house waste water sample near Palar river, Vellore district, Tamilnadu, India at geographical location (12.939196 N, 79.132771E). The Palar river collects waters from a vast geographical landscape of the Tamilnadu which makes it a thriving source of large and diverse number of organisms including phage battery. Transmission electron micrograph in figure-1[A] showed the morphology of phage 3A_8767 having icosahedral head (∼52 nm in diameter) and stubby tail which is a typical characteristic of Podoviridae [1]. The DNA polymerase gene was used to study the evolutionary pattern and found that the phage 3A_8767 comes in the clade of T7 like virus from Fig.1[B]. The blast result showed 92.84% identity to bacteriophage T7 (Accession no. V01146.1) with 92% query coverage and 0.0 E – value. The Table 1 represents the genome sequence and annotation summary comprising of size, G + C content, open reading frames and predicted functional genes. The average fragment size of the library was 449 bp. Data was generated on illumine platform which provided 7302,941 number of reads.

Experimental design, materials and methods

The phage isolation and enumeration was carried out against Salmonella typhi host strain 8767 MTCC [2]. Luria Bertani broth and agar were used for host strain propagation. Sample swabs collected from collection site were enriched in host strain culture, prior to isolation. DNA isolation was carried out as per the protocol mentioned in the DNA and RNA isolation kit (GeneJET viral DNA and RNA purification kit, Thermo Scientifics), after plaque purification and phage enumeration. The negative staining of the phage particles was performed using 2% w/v phosphotungstic acid [3]. QIAseq FX DNA library kit was used to generate the paired end DNA sequence library with initial concentration of 100 ng gDNA [4]. Smaller fragments were obtained by enzymatic shearing followed by continuous end repair to add adenosine nucleotide at 3′ end, which facilitates the adapter binding. A high fidelity amplification step was performed using HiFi PCR master to ensure the maximum yield.The amplified library was analyzed in Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies) using High Sensitivity (HS) DNA chip. The de novo assembly from the high quality reads was obtained using CLC genomics workbench v6.0 [5].

The assembled genome of bacteriophage 3A_8767 was annotated with the help of Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) [4], [6] and verified by NCBI blast for each gene individually. Open reading frames were determined by ORF finding tool from NCBI. Each CDS was confirmed by BLASTn tool and each protein was determined for its function by BLASTp [7]. The tRNAscan-SE tool [8] was used to search tRNA in the genome sequence. The Salmoenlla phage 3A_8767 genome was analysed for the presence of tandem repeats as well as insert sequences by using the online tool Tandem Repeat Finder v-4.09 and Repeat Masker respectively [9].
