Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a globally important bacterium related to climate warming and health threat to human and marine animals. Yet, there is limited knowledge about its polylysogeny harboring multiple prophages and the genetic information. In this study, two prophages (VPS05ph1 and VPS05ph2) were identified in a V.

Strains of Vibrio cholerae O1, biotypes El Tor and classical, were infected with a known temperate phage (PhiP15) and monitored over a 15-day period for prophage induction. Over the course of the experiment two morphologically and three genomically distinct virus-like particles were observed from the phage-infected El Tor strain by transmission electron microscopy and field inversion gel electrophoresis, respectively, whereas only one phage, PhiP15, was observed from the infected classical strain. In the uninfected El Tor culture one prophage was spontaneously induced after 6 days.
