TL;DR
This paper reports the genome sequence of a new bacteriophage called Mao1, which is closely related to another phage called Sejanus.
Contribution
The study provides a detailed genome analysis of the newly isolated temperate bacteriophage Mao1.
Findings
Mao1 has a genome of 65,240 base pairs with 101 confirmed genes and a high GC content of 66.3%.
Mao1 shares 99.79% nucleotide identity with phage Sejanus and belongs to cluster AD.
The genome lacks tRNA genes, a notable feature for further study.
Abstract
Mao1, a temperate bacteriophage isolated in North Georgia, was found to have a 65,240 base pair genome with 101 confirmed genes, no tRNA genes, and a 66.3% guanine–cytosine content. It shares 99.79% nucleotide identity with phage Sejanus. Bacteriophages that share over 50% identities are grouped into clusters, with Mao1 being in cluster AD.
