RESUMEN
Two novel mycobacteriophages, PhancyPhin and Purgamenstris, were isolated from the Houston, Texas, area. They were isolated in the same year with the soil enrichment method using the host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155. They exhibit a 99.55% nucleotide identity with each other.
RESUMEN
We report here the genome sequences of three newly isolated phages that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. Phages Findley, Hurricane, and TBond007 were discovered in geographically distinct locations and are related to cluster K mycobacteriophages, with Findley being similar to subcluster K2 phages and Hurricane and TBond007 being similar to subcluster K3 phages.
RESUMEN
We describe the genome sequences of three closely related mycobacteriophages, Kerberos, Pomar16, and StarStuff, isolated at similar times but from geographically distinct regions. All three genomes are similar to those of other subcluster A2 phages, such as L5 and D29, are temperate, and have siphoviral virion morphologies.
