## TL;DR

This paper describes the discovery and classification of three new temperate phages isolated from soil using a specific bacterium.

## Contribution

The paper introduces three new phages and classifies them into known actinobacteriophage clusters based on gene content.

## Key findings

- Juno112 and KHumphrey belong to cluster AS3, while ChuckDuck belongs to cluster FA.
- All three phages encode tyrosine recombinases, with ChuckDuck encoding two.

## Abstract

Three novel temperate siphoviruses, Juno112, KHumphrey, and ChuckDuck, were isolated from soil at Stevenson University using the bacterium
Arthrobacter globiformis
B-2979. Based on gene content similarity, Juno112 and KHumphrey are assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster AS3 and ChuckDuck to cluster FA. All three phages encode tyrosine recombinases, with ChuckDuck encoding two.
