# Genome sequences of four A1 subcluster Mycobacterium smegmatis bacteriophages

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequences of four bacteriophages that infect a specific strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis.

## Contribution

The study identifies six novel open reading frames in the genomes of four A1 subcluster bacteriophages.

## Key findings

- Payneful, Marchy, Hami1, and Sorpresa are A1 subcluster phages infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155.
- The phages have genome lengths and guanine–cytosine content consistent with other A1 subcluster phages.
- Six novel open reading frames were identified in the genomes of these phages.

## Abstract

Payneful, Marchy, Hami1, and Sorpresa are A1 subcluster tailed bacteriophages belonging to the Caudoviricetes class that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc2155. They are consistent with other A1 subcluster phages based on their genome length and guanine–cytosine content. Their genomes contain six novel open reading frames.
