## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a new bacteriophage, MicyPS, which infects Corynebacterium glutamicum and was found in soil in France.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a new phage cluster EQ based on gene-content similarity with another phage.

## Key findings

- MicyPS has a 78,208-bp genome encoding 115 protein-encoding genes and 5 tRNAs.
- MicyPS was classified into a new phage cluster EQ based on gene-content similarity with PSonyx.

## Abstract

MicyPS is a bacteriophage with siphovirus morphology infecting
Corynebacterium glutamicum 
strain MB001. It was isolated from soil near a henhouse in Villiers-sur-Marne, France. Its 78,208-bp genome encodes 115 predicted protein-encoding genes and 5 tRNAs. Based on gene-content similarity with actinobacteriophage PSonyx, MicyPS was assigned to the new cluster EQ.
