Abstract
Bacillus megaterium has been widely used as a research tool for decades. Its use is on the rise as a recombinant protein production host and as a bioremediation bacterium. Bacteriophages against this bacterium may have biotechnological applications. Here, we describe the novel podophage Palmer, which infects B. megaterium.

The morphology of Palmer was determined using transmission electron microscopy performed at the Texas A&M University Microscopy and Imaging Center
Summary
Bacillus megaterium has been widely used as a research tool for decades. Its use is on the rise as a recombinant protein production host and as a bioremediation bacterium. Bacillus megaterium is a Gram-positive bacterium widely used in industry as a protein production host [1]. Information can be gleaned from the study of bacteriophages which infect this host to improve the use of the bacterium in both research and industrial settings. Novel podophage Palmer was isolated and characterized.
