Abstract

Mycobacterium Phage Guppsters was isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc 2 155, displays a siphovirus morphology, and possesses a 54,835 base pair genome. Based on gene content similarity, Guppsters is assigned to cluster F1. Unlike a majority of F1 phages, Guppsters does not encode mycobacteriophage mobile elements.
