Three Cluster O mycobacteriophages isolated in Philadelphia, PA
We report here the discovery and characterization of three novel bacteriophages infecting <i>Mycobacterium smegmatis</i> . These siphoviruses were isolated from soil collected in urban areas around Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Mycobacteriphages Idergollasper, FoulBall, and Schuy are assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster O based on gene content similarity, and have prolate capsids typical for this cluster.
