ABSTRACT We present the complete genome sequences of Mycobacterium smegmatis phages Jung and Ronan, isolated from soil in Las Vegas, Nevada. The phages were isolated and annotated by students enrolled in a course for undergraduate research experience (CURE). Jung is a cluster P1 mycobacteriophage, while Ronan is in cluster C1.

ABSTRACT Mycobacteriophages OKaNui and DroogsArmy were isolated from soil using the bacterial host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155, which belongs to the phylum Actinobacteria. OKaNui was discovered in east Mississippi and DroogsArmy in west Alabama in the United States. The genomes of OKaNui and DroogsArmy were 51,424 bp and 53,254 bp long, respectively.

Mycobacteriophages Candle, Schatzie, Sumter, and Waleliano were isolated from soil using the host bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. Candle, Schatzie, and Sumter were discovered in Alabama and Waleliano in Maryland. The bacteriophages have been assigned clusters based on nucleotide similarity, as follows: Candle, R; Schatzie, J; Sumter, A1; and Waleliano, B4.

ABSTRACT Seven mycobacteriophages from distinct geographical locations were isolated, using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 as the host, and then purified and sequenced. All of the genomes are related to cluster A mycobacteriophages, BobSwaget and Lokk in subcluster A2; Fred313, KADY, Stagni, and StepMih in subcluster A3; and MyraDee in subcluster A18, the first phage to be assigned to that subcluster.

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium smegmatis, an acid-fast bacterial species in the phylum Actinobacteria, has often been used as a substitute for pathogenic mycobacteria in research. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of two M. smegmatis bacteriophages, Penelope2018 and Miniwave.

EleanorGeorge, Mattes, and Spikelee are mycobacteriophages isolated from different soil samples using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 as the host. Each was obtained using direct isolation techniques, purified, and then sequenced. Based on sequence similarity, all three belong to the F1 subcluster and are temperate phages.
