Abstract

Bacteriophage DumpQuist was isolated from soil collected in Clarksville, TN, using the bacterium Microbacterium foliorum. Electron microscopy revealed that DumpQuist has a podovirus morphology. DumpQuist has a 53,924-bp genome that contains 54 predicted protein-coding genes and is most similar to phages in actinobacteriophage cluster EK1.

Keywords: bacteriophage evolution; bacteriophages; genome analysis.

(B) Transmission electron microscopy photo of bacteriophage DumpQuist with a podovirus morphology with a short tail and an icosahedral capsid 52–54 nm in diameter (n = 7). The bacteriophage sample was stained using 1% uranyl acetate and imaged using a Hitachi H-7650 Transmission Electron Microscope (Tokyo, Japan) and an accelerating voltage of 100 kV.
