Complete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Siphophage Suzuki.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative bacterium known to cause respiratory tract infections and other diseases in humans. Here, we describe the isolation and genome annotation of S. maltophilia siphophage Suzuki. Its 56,042-bp genome has 83 predicted protein-coding genes and demonstrates similarity with Xylella phages Sano and Salvo.

Complete Genome Sequence of Rhizobium japonicum Podophage Pasto.

Rhizobium japonicum is a Gram-negative bacterium of interest for research into nitrogen fixation in legumes. This article describes the isolation, sequencing, and annotation of R. japonicum podophage Pasto. While it shows no significant similarity to identified phages, genomic analysis indicates that Pasto may be temperate and is a novel T7-like podophage.
