Abstract

Phages vB_EamP-S2 (S2) and vB_EamM-Bue1 (Bue1) infect the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora. S2 has a genome size of 45,495 bp and belongs to the genus SP6virus. The genome size of Bue1, related to Salmonella phage Vil, is 164,037 bp. Both phages possess a depolymerase enzyme, a frequent feature of E. amylovora phages.
