# Complete genome and characteristics of cluster BC bacteriophage SoJo, isolated using Streptomyces mirabilis NRRL B-2400 in Columbia, MD

## TL;DR

This paper describes a new Streptomyces-infecting bacteriophage, SoJo, with a genome similar to others in its cluster.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a newly isolated and characterized bacteriophage from the BC cluster.

## Key findings

- SoJo has a 39 kbp genome with 71.5% GC content.
- The genome is circularly permuted and similar to other BC cluster phages.
- SoJo was isolated from soil in Columbia, MD.

## Abstract

Here, we present bacteriophage SoJo, a siphovirus infecting Streptomyces mirabilis, with a circularly permuted genome of 39 kbp and GC content of 71.5%. Its genome length and content are similar to that of other phages in the Actinobacteriophage Database BC cluster. SoJo was isolated from soil in Columbia, MD, USA.
