Abstract
We present here the complete genomes of 18 phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees. The phages were isolated between 2014 and 2016 as part of an undergraduate phage discovery course at Brigham Young University. The phages were isolated primarily from bee debris and lysogens.
Highlights
We present here the complete genomes of 18 phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees
Scanning electron micrographs show that all 18 phages are members of the family Siphoviridae
The 3= overhangs were identified by sequence similarity with previously published phages [3,4,5,6,7,8]
