Complete Genome Sequences of Seven EA Cluster Microbacteriophages, Bustleton, MillyPhilly, Riyhil, Phriends, Pherbot, PrincePhergus, and TinSulphur

Abstract

Seven EA cluster microbacteriophages were isolated from soil collected around Philadelphia, PA, using the bacterial host Microbacterium foliorum. All of these phages have a highly conserved genome with regions of diversity localized to the 3′ end. In phage Phriends (EA1 cluster), this region contains an orpham gene with no known function.
