ABSTRACT
Wes44 and Carmen17 are siphoviruses that infect Bacillus thuringiensis DSM-350. Wes44 contains 42,248 base pairs and 54 predicted genes; Carmen17 contains 41,820 base pairs and 51 predicted genes. The genomes are 95% similar to each other and distantly related to Bacillus cereus bacteriophage PBC1.
ABSTRACT
Soil from George Town, Grand Cayman Island, yielded the bacteriophage Belinda, isolated on Bacillus thuringiensis DSM 350. We present here the analysis of the complete genome sequence of 162,308 bp, with 298 predicted genes. The genome also contains three tRNA genes. Belinda belongs to the C1 cluster of Bacillus phages.
ABSTRACT
Smudge, a bacteriophage enriched from soil using Bacillus thuringiensis DSM-350 as the host, had its complete genome sequenced. Smudge is a myovirus with a genome consisting of 292 genes and was identified as belonging to the C1 cluster of Bacillus phages.
