Mycobacteriophage maravista: a cluster F1 phage discovered on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Mycobacterium virus Maravista, a member of the family Gracegardnervirianae and species Cheoctovirus, is an F1 cluster phage that infects Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155. The Maravista genome has 61.3% GC content, is 60,140 bp in length, and encodes 104 putative genes. Maravista encodes two putative glycosyltransferases, suggesting glycosylation of its capsid protein.

Genome sequence of Streptomyces BM cluster phage Frankenweenie.

Frankenweenie is a newly isolated bacteriophage that infects Streptomyces scabiei RL-34. Frankenweenie was discovered in Gaithersburg, MD, and has 366 genes comprising a 200,048-bp genome. Frankenweenie is grouped in cluster BM and is predicted to possess a unique tailspike protein that potentially widens its host range.
