# Genome sequence of bacteriophage PensacolaC28 isolated using Microbacterium sp. Casco Bay

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a new bacteriophage, PensacolaC28, isolated from an environmental sample in Florida.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in the isolation and sequencing of a new lytic phage from a marine Microbacterium host.

## Key findings

- PensacolaC28 is a singleton siphovirus with a 16,749 bp genome.
- The phage contains 24 protein coding genes.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage PensacolaC28 is a lytic phage isolated on Microbacterium sp. Casco Bay (NCMA B81), a marine bacterium originally cultured in South Portland, Maine, USA. PensacolaC28 was isolated from an environmental sample collected in Pensacola, Florida, USA. It is a singleton siphovirus with a 16,749 bp genome and contains 24 protein coding genes.
