Genome characteristics of cluster EA Microbacterium bacteriophages HungryHenry, CaptainRex, and ChikPic isolated from soil in Tennessee.

Abstract

Bacteriophages HungryHenry, CaptainRex, and ChikPic were isolated from soil collected in Tennessee using the bacterium Microbacterium foliorum . These bacteriophages have genomes that are 41,516 bp, 39,941 bp, and 40,333 bp in length and encode 62, 61, and 63 putative genes, respectively. Based on gene content similarity, all three bacteriophages are assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster EA (subclusters EA1, EA2 and EA5, respectively).
