We characterized the complete genome of the lytic
Enterococcus faecalis
phage EFKL, which was isolated from a sewage treatment plant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The phage, which was classified in the genus
Saphexavirus
, has a 58,343-bp double-stranded DNA genome containing 97 protein-encoding genes and shares 80.60% nucleotide similarity with
Enterococcus
phage EF653P5 and
Enterococcus
phage EF653P3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
