# Complete genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis phage fHSPT3

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a new bacteriophage, fHSPT3, isolated from sewage and infecting Bacillus subtilis.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the complete genome characterization of phage fHSPT3, including its coding potential and life cycle prediction.

## Key findings

- The phage fHSPT3 has a genome of 150,187 bp with 221 protein-coding sequences.
- Phage fHSPT3 belongs to the genus Siophivirus and lacks virulence or antibiotic resistance genes.
- The phage is predicted to have a virulent life cycle using PhageScope and PhageAI.

## Abstract

Here, we describe a Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage isolated from sewage water. The phage fHSPT3 was isolated against the host Bacillus subtilis 168 and has a genome size of 150,187 bp with 221 protein-coding sequences. The fHSPT3 belongs to the genus Siophivirus, lacks virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, and shows a virulent life cycle predicted through PhageScope and PhageAI.
