Pheno- and Genotyping of Three Novel Bacteriophage Genera That Target a Wheat Phyllosphere <i>Sphingomonas</i> Genus

Bacteriophages are viral agents that infect and replicate within bacterial cells. Despite the increasing importance of phage ecology, environmental phages—particularly those targeting phyllosphere-associated bacteria—remain underexplored, and current genomic databases lack high-quality phage genome...
