Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus megaterium Podophage Pavlov.

Bacillus megaterium is a large spore-forming bacterium found widely in the environment. Phages infecting B. megaterium can be used as genetic tools to expand the array of uses of B. megaterium in research and industry. Here, we present the complete genome of Pavlov, a podophage infecting B. megaterium.

Complete Genome of Bacillus pumilus Siphophage Blastoid.

Phage Blastoid is a siphophage that infects Bacillus pumilus. B. pumilus is widely used in agriculture but has recently been linked to cases of food poisoning. Here, we report the complete genome of Blastoid and discuss unique genomic characteristics.
