# Whole-genome sequence of subcluster BE1 Streptomyces lividans bacteriophage Persimmon

## TL;DR

This paper presents the whole-genome sequence of the Persimmon bacteriophage, which infects Streptomyces lividans and was isolated from soil.

## Contribution

The study provides a new whole-genome sequence of a BE1 subcluster bacteriophage with distinct GC content.

## Key findings

- Persimmon has a genome length of 131,421 bp.
- The genome contains 231 protein-coding genes.
- It has a 50.0% GC content, differing from its host's high GC content.

## Abstract

Persimmon is a BE1 subcluster bacteriophage infecting Streptomyces lividans with siphoviral morphology and was isolated from a soil sample. The genome of Persimmon has a length of 131,421 bp, 231 protein-coding genes, and a 50.0% GC content that differs from the isolation host with high GC content.
