Project description:Here, we describe LilHazelnut, a novel mycobacteriophage that infects Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. LilHazelnut is a cluster Q phage that shares 99% nucleotide identity with phage Giles, is 53,746 bp in length, and has a G+C content of 67.5%. LilHazelnut is a temperate Siphoviridae virus, as is typical of cluster Q family members.
Project description:Waterfoul is a newly isolated temperate siphovirus of Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. It was identified as a member of the K5 cluster of Mycobacterium phages and has a 61,248-bp genome with 95 predicted genes.
Project description:Mycobacteriophage CrystalP is a newly isolated phage infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc2155. CrystalP has a 76,483-bp genome and is predicted to contain 143 protein-coding and 2 tRNA genes, including repressor and integrase genes consistent with a temperate lifestyle. CrystalP is related to the mycobacteriophages Toto and Kostya and to other Cluster E phages.
Project description:Mycobacteriophage phiT46-1 is a newly isolated Mycobacterium phage that was isolated by spontaneous release from Mycobacterium abscessus strain Taiwan-46 and infects M. abscessus strain BWH-C. Phage phiT46-1 is unrelated to previously described mycobacteriophages, has a 52,849-bp genome, and includes a polymorphic toxin-immunity cassette associated with type VII secretion systems.
