ABSTRACT
A prophage namely vB_RhkS_P1 was induced by mitomycin C from Rhodovulum sp. P5 in the shallow-sea hydrothermal systems. The vB_RhkS_P1 had siphovirus-like morphology, and the average particle had a head size of approximately 61nm, and the tail length approximately 93nm. The genome of vB_RhkS_P1 was a size of 38.8kbp, 67.5% GC content, and 59 open reading frames. The genome contained Mu-like head structural genes but its genomic content was distinct from Mu or Mu-like phages.
