Mycobacteriophage maravista: a cluster F1 phage discovered on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Charles Pelagalli, Debbie-Jacobs Sera, Joseph A. DeGiorgis, Kathleen Cornely

TL;DR
A new mycobacteriophage named Maravista was discovered in Cape Cod and infects a specific mycobacterium species.
Contribution
The discovery and characterization of a new F1 cluster mycobacteriophage, Maravista, from Cape Cod.
Findings
Maravista infects Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 and belongs to the Cheoctovirus species.
The phage genome is 60,140 bp long with 61.3% GC content and encodes 104 putative genes.
Maravista encodes two glycosyltransferases, indicating possible capsid glycosylation.
Abstract
Mycobacterium virus Maravista, a member of the family Gracegardnervirianae and species Cheoctovirus, is an F1 cluster phage that infects Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155. The Maravista genome has 61.3% GC content, is 60,140 bp in length, and encodes 104 putative genes. Maravista encodes two putative glycosyltransferases, suggesting glycosylation of its capsid protein.
