From compost to culver: genome sequence and annotation of a cluster CQ1 Gordonia phage.

Abstract

Phage Culver, with a siphovirus morphology, was isolated using Gordonia terrae CAG3. Culver is assigned to phage cluster CQ1 based on gene content similarity to actinobacteriophages. Notably, Culver is predicted to encode eight tRNAs, lysin A by two adjacent genes, and, unlike other CQ1 phages, two putative integrase genes.
