# Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium Phage Guppsters

## TL;DR

This paper describes the genome of a new bacteriophage, Guppsters, which infects Mycobacterium and belongs to a specific group of phages.

## Contribution

The paper reports the genome sequence of Guppsters, a Mycobacterium phage lacking mobile elements typical of its cluster.

## Key findings

- Guppsters has a 54,835 base pair genome and siphovirus morphology.
- It is classified in cluster F1 based on gene content similarity.
- Unlike most F1 phages, Guppsters lacks mycobacteriophage mobile elements.

## Abstract

Mycobacterium Phage Guppsters was isolated on
Mycobacterium smegmatis
mc
2
155, displays a siphovirus morphology, and possesses a 54,835 base pair genome. Based on gene content similarity, Guppsters is assigned to cluster F1. Unlike a majority of F1 phages, Guppsters does not encode mycobacteriophage mobile elements.
