# The genomic characterization of three Microbacterium foliorum-specific bacteriophages, “Nucci,” “MCubed,” and “QMacho”

## TL;DR

This paper describes the genomic analysis of three new bacteriophages found in soil near Charlotte, NC.

## Contribution

The study characterizes three novel bacteriophages and their gene content, expanding knowledge of phage diversity.

## Key findings

- Nucci, MCubed, and QMacho were classified into distinct phage clusters (EA10, EA2, and EB).
- Nucci and MCubed each have 63 predicted genes, while QMacho has 73 predicted genes.

## Abstract

Nucci, MCubed, and QMacho are microbacteriophages that were isolated from soil samples in Charlotte, NC. They were classified into EA10, EA2, and EB clusters, respectively. Nucci and MCubed each had 63 predicted genes, while QMacho had 73 predicted genes.
