Bacterial canker in kiwifruit is caused by pv. (). In this study, the bacteriophage PPPL-1 effective against was characterized. PPPL-1 belongs to the family. PPPL-1 was effective against most strains as well as most pathovars. PPPL-1 carries a 41,149-bp genome with 49 protein coding sequences and is homologous to previously reported phiPSA2 bacteriophage. The lytic activity of PPPL-1 was stable up to 40°C, within a range of pH3-11 and under 365nm UV light. These results indicate that the bacteriophage PPPL-1 might be useful to control in the kiwifruit field.
