Characterization of four cluster A1 <i>Mycobacterium</i> phage genomes, Applejack, Hermia, LilBib, and QTRlifeCrisis
Four novel cluster A1 siphoviruses, Applejack, Hermia, LilBib, and QTRlifeCrisis, were isolated on <i>Mycobacterium smegmatis</i>. Their complete genome sequences are 49,633-50,325 bp in length and encode 80-91 protein-coding genes. Applejack and LilBib encode metallophosphatases containing inteins, and Applejack encodes a DNA methylase that contains an out-of-frame HNH endonuclease.
