Isolation of a <i>Gordonia rubripertincta</i> bacteriophage, BluerMoon, from topsoil in Lubbock, Texas
We isolated, annotated, and analyzed the genome of an environmental bacteriophage. BluerMoon was discovered from topsoil in Lubbock, Texas, as part of the Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Sciences (SEA-PHAGES) program. BluerMoon is a member of the DJ cluster according to the Actinobacteriophage database, PhagesDB (https://phagesdb.org).
