ABSTRACT
The bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that often infects hospitalized patients and those who are immunocompromised. K. aerogenes in some cases can become resistant to antibiotic treatment. Being a potential therapeutic, Metamorpho is a T4-like myophage targeting K. aerogenes.
ABSTRACT
Streptomyces spp. are saprophytic soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites with therapeutic potential. This announcement describes the isolation and genome annotation of Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 siphophage Shady. Learning more about Shady's novel 45-kb genome, containing 76 predicted protein-coding genes, could be industrially advantageous when using streptomycetes for their products.
ABSTRACT
Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 is a Gram-positive soil bacterium capable of causing cell lysis and degradation of Bacillus subtilis colonies. Here, we report the 48,481-bp genome of Streptomyces sp. Mg1 siphophage Sitrop. With 77 predicted protein-coding genes and one tRNA, Sitrop shares 77% nucleotide sequence identity with the Streptomyces phage Verse.
ABSTRACT
Here, we present the genome of siphophage Shaeky, infecting the Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1. Shaeky has very low sequence identity to other phages, with phage phiC31 being the most closely related in the NCBI database. The Shaeky genome is 45,617 bp with 77 protein-coding genes and 16 tRNAs.
ABSTRACT
The Streptomyces genus produces over two-thirds of clinically useful, natural antibiotics. Here, we describe the isolation and genome annotation of siphophage Sentinel, which utilizes Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 as a host. It has a 50,272-bp genome and 83 protein-coding genes and shows similarity to other Streptomyces phages in the Arequatrovirus genus.
ABSTRACT
Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 is a competitive soil-dwelling bacterium that secretes antibiotics that inhibit growth of Bacillus subtilis Here, we present the genome sequence of Sycamore, a 44,694-bp Streptomyces sp. Mg1 siphophage with 66 predicted protein-coding genes, that is similar to phage genome sequences in the Lomovskayavirus genus.
ABSTRACT
Streptomyces spp. are Gram-positive soil bacteria that have been reported in some cases to cause acute and chronic infections, including mycetomas, pneumonia, and septicemia. Here, we present Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 phage Spernnie. Spernnie is a temperate siphophage containing 89 predicted coding genes in a 50,834-bp genome sequence.
ABSTRACT
Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacterium that is found in humans and animals as both a commensal organism and a pathogen. This report describes the isolation of Sciku, a siphophage infecting E. coli 4s, with 73 protein-coding genes. Genome comparisons suggest that Sciku is related to phages within Guernseyvirinae.
