Abstract

Leptolyngbya phage Dor1 was induced by mitomycin C from a fishpond and was isolated on Leptolyngbya boryana IU 594. The 41,522-bp genome of Leptolyngbya phage Dor1 has 93.77% intergenomic similarity with Leptolyngbya phage LPP-1; however, unlike LPP-1, Dor1 carries an HNH endonuclease in its DNA polymerase gene.

Keywords: cyanobacteria; cyanophages; lysogeny; prophage.
