Genome Sequences of Cluster A Mycobacteriophages Dorothea and LappelDuVide, Isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155
Genome annotation of <i>Mycobacterium smegmatis</i> phages Dorothea and LappelDuVide revealed genomic features/organization common to cluster A mycobacteriophages; they are assigned to subclusters A6 and A4, respectively. Both genomes encode a putative immunity repressor, but the mode of prophage inheritance likely differs; Dorothea encodes a ParA/B partitioning system while LappelDuVide encodes a serine integrase. Dorothea encodes 3 tRNAs while none were identified for LappelDuVide.
