## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a new actinobacteriophage called LilTerminator, isolated from soil in Georgia.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the isolation and genome sequencing of a new phage, LilTerminator, and its classification into subcluster EA5.

## Key findings

- LilTerminator's genome is 39,963 bp, circularly permuted, and contains 62 predicted genes.
- The phage is classified into subcluster EA5 based on gene content similarity to other actinobacteriophages.

## Abstract

Actinobacteriophage LilTerminator was isolated from soil collected from Jekyll Island, Georgia, using
Microbacterium foliorum
NRRL B-24224 as the host. The genome of this phage is 39,963 bp, circularly permuted, and contains 62 predicted genes, including one tRNA gene. Based on gene content similarity of at least 35% to actinobacteriophages, LilTerminator is grouped into subcluster EA5.
