Genome Sequences of Cluster G Mycobacteriophages Cambiare, FlagStaff, and MOOREtheMARYer

Abstract

Mycobacteriophages Cambiare, FlagStaff, and MOOREtheMARYer are newly isolated phages of Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155 recovered from soil samples in Pittsburgh, PA. All three genomes are closely related to cluster G mycobacteriophages but differ sufficiently in nucleotide sequence and gene content to warrant division of cluster G into several subclusters.

Genome Sequence of Gordonia Bacteriophage Lucky10

“…Several of the structural genes are related to those in cluster G mycobacteriophages, including the terminase large subunit, portal, and capsid subunit genes. The Lucky10 major capsid subunit has 83% amino acid identity to that encoded by cluster G phage MOOREtheMARYer ( 14 ), and the two also have 79% nucleotide sequence identity spanning 800 bp of the major capsid subunit genes. The lysis cassette is unusually situated among the minor tail protein genes.…”
