A Novel Subcluster of Closely Related <i>Bacillus</i> Phages with Distinct Tail Fiber/Lysin Gene Combinations

A Novel Subcluster of Closely Related <i>Bacillus</i> Phages with Distinct Tail Fiber/Lysin Gene Combinations

Bacteriophages (phages) are the most numerous entities on Earth, but we have only scratched the surface of describing phage diversity. We isolated seven <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> phages from desert soil in the southwest United States and then sequenced and characterized their genomes. Com...
