Abstract

We report the isolation and characteristics of phages JuneStar and Pumpkins, siphoviruses isolated from soil in Bismarck, ND using Arthrobacter globiformis B2979-SEA. Based on gene content similarity, both phages are assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster AZ1. They encode a putative serine integrase that is conserved across cluster AZ1 phages, suggesting a temperate lifestyle.

Negative-staining (1% uranyl acetate) transmission electron microscopy revealed Pumpkins (left) and JuneStar(right) to be siphoviruses. Pumpkins has a tail length of 131-138 nm and a capsid diameter of 53 - 59 nm (n=3) while JuneStar has a tail length of 122 nm and a capsid diameter 61 nm (n=1). Scalebar is 200 nm.
