# Complete genome sequence of Shigella phage Moonfish isolated from Mid-Michigan

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a new Shigella phage, Moonfish, isolated from a cattle ranch in Michigan.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence and host range analysis of a novel Shigella phage.

## Key findings

- Moonfish has a 69,166-bp genome and is similar to N4-like phages.
- It has a narrow host range compared to other similar phages.

## Abstract

A Shigella podophage, Moonfish, was isolated from a longhorn cattle ranch in Barry County, MI, USA. The 69,166-bp genome was annotated and places Moonfish in a similar category to N4-like phages. Host range studies show that Moonfish has a narrow host profile relative to similar phages.
