Abstract

Three novel temperate siphoviruses, Juno112, KHumphrey, and ChuckDuck, were isolated from soil at Stevenson University using the bacterium Arthrobacter globiformis B-2979. Based on gene content similarity, Juno112 and KHumphrey are assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster AS3 and ChuckDuck to cluster FA. All three phages encode tyrosine recombinases, with ChuckDuck encoding two.
