Genome analysis of a cluster EF bacteriophage LordBart isolated from soil in Tennessee.

Bacteriophage LordBart was isolated from a soil sample in Clarksville, TN using the bacterium <i>Microbacterium foliorum.</i> The bacteriophage has a 56,975 bp genome with 86 predicted protein-coding genes, of which 32 were assigned predicted functions. LordBart has a siphovirus morphology and is grouped with bacteriophages in cluster EF based on gene content similarity. Its genome includes eight copies of a conserved 12 bp sequence motif located upstream of predicted translational start codons of some genes of unknown functions.
