## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a soil-isolated bacteriophage called Curie, which infects Microbacterium foliorum.

## Contribution

The discovery of a new actinobacteriophage Cluster GI formed by Curie and PineapplePizza.

## Key findings

- The genome of phage Curie is 16,810 bp long with 90 bp terminal inverted repeats.
- Curie's genome architecture is similar to PineapplePizza and other phi29-like phages.
- Curie and PineapplePizza define a new actinobacteriophage Cluster GI.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage Curie is a podovirus that infects Microbacterium foliorum. The Curie genome spans 16,810 bp, has 90 bp terminal inverted repeats, and includes 23 protein-coding genes. Its genome architecture resembles phage PineapplePizza and other phi29-like phages. Together, Curie and PineapplePizza form a new actinobacteriophage Cluster GI.
