Bacteriophages of <italic toggle="yes">Gordonia</italic> spp. Display a Spectrum of Diversity and Genetic Relationships

ABSTRACT The global bacteriophage population is large, dynamic, old, and highly diverse genetically. Many phages are tailed and contain double-stranded DNA, but these remain poorly characterized genomically. A collection of over 1,000 phages infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis reveals the diversity of...
