# Genome sequence of cluster A6 bacteriophage Lilbunny, isolated using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a new bacteriophage, Lilbunny, isolated from rabbit fecal compost and infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome sequence of a cluster A6 bacteriophage isolated from rabbit fecal compost.

## Key findings

- Lilbunny's genome is 50,789 bp and contains 95 open reading frames.
- Approximately 52.6% of the open reading frames encode proteins with predicted functions.
- The genome includes three tRNA genes.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage Lilbunny is a siphovirus infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc2155. It was isolated from compost of rabbit fecal matter. The genome of Lilbunny belongs to the A6 subcluster and is 50,789 bp, containing 95 open reading frames, 52.6% of which encode proteins with predicted functions, and three tRNA genes.
