Abstract

Microbacteriophage IndyLu was isolated from Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224. The 41,958-bp double-stranded DNA genome has 71 predicted protein coding genes and 1 tRNA. The lytic actinobacteriophage was extracted from soil samples collected in Stephenville, TX, and is related to cluster EB bacteriophages Didgeridoo and Lahqtemish.

Transmission electron microscopy of cluster EB bacteriophage IndyLu. High-titer lysate was attached to a 300 copper mesh grid and negatively stained with uranyl acetate. Imaging using an FEI Tecnai G2 Spirit BioTWIN transmission electron microscope (NL1.160G) revealed a capsid diameter of 65 nm, tail length of 155 nm, and a morphology consistent with other Siphoviridae family members.
