Bacteriophages are important in structuring bacterial communities, including desert soils dominated by Bacillus species. Here, we describe two genetically similar temperate phages isolated on a Bacillus subtilis strain from soil in Tucson, Arizona. Their double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes contain 98 and 102 genes, with a set of 4 genes being found in only one phage.

Bacteriophages of the phyllosphere have not been extensively described, despite their role in bacterial communities on this plant organ. Here, we describe a temperate Pantoea phage, AH07, that was isolated from the leaves of horse chestnut trees. The 37,859-bp linear double-stranded DNA genome contains 58 putative genes, including an integration cassette.

Bacteriophages play important roles in determining bacterial communities, including plant microbiota. Here, we describe four lytic phages, three Siphoviridae and one Podoviridae, isolated from four different bacterial species found on the leaves of horse chestnut trees. Their double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes range from 39,095 to 46,062 bp and contain 51 to 70 genes.


Genome Sequences Of Erwinia Phyllophages Ah04 And Ah06, Gregory P. Krukonis, Sam J. Roth, Veronique A. Delesalle Nov 2021

Although crucial in shaping bacterial communities, few bacteriophages of the phyllosphere have been described. We provide genome data for two Myoviridae phages, AH04 and AH06, isolated on Erwinia billingiae strains. AH04 shares limited genetic similarity with previously described phages, while AH06 shares over 75% similarity with various Erwinia phages.
