Complete genomes of common bacterial hosts of RNA bacteriophage Φ6.

Abstract

Bacterial plant pathogens Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola, P. syringae pv. tomato, P. syringae pv. atrofaciens, and P. oleovorans East River isolate A serve as common laboratory hosts for bacteriophage Φ6, a widely used model organism for enveloped viruses. Here, we report complete genome sequences for strains of these bacterial hosts.
