Genome analysis of a cluster EF bacteriophage LordBart isolated from soil in Tennessee
Sergei Markov, Cynthia Fecteau, Torrie Jones, Matthew Lee, Mercedes Thornton
TL;DR
A new soil bacteriophage called LordBart was discovered in Tennessee, with a genome of 56,975 base pairs and unique genetic features.
Contribution
The paper presents the genome analysis of a newly isolated siphovirus bacteriophage, LordBart, grouped in cluster EF.
Findings
LordBart has a genome of 56,975 bp with 86 predicted protein-coding genes.
Eight copies of a conserved 12 bp sequence motif were found upstream of some genes of unknown function.
The phage is classified as a siphovirus and grouped in cluster EF based on gene content similarity.
Abstract
Bacteriophage LordBart was isolated from a soil sample in Clarksville, TN using the bacterium Microbacterium foliorum. The bacteriophage has a 56,975 bp genome with 86 predicted protein-coding genes, of which 32 were assigned predicted functions. LordBart has a siphovirus morphology and is grouped with bacteriophages in cluster EF based on gene content similarity. Its genome includes eight copies of a conserved 12 bp sequence motif located upstream of predicted translational start codons of some genes of unknown functions.
