Abstract
ABSTRACTDuring the fermentation process, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) phages can result in bacterial death and decreased yield. In this work, we describe the genome of a new phage related to the Siphoviridae viral family from a Brazilian strain of Bt which showed high nucleotide sequence identity to the genomes of phages phi4l1 and BtCS33.
Highlights
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a Gram-positive bacterium, has been used for biocontrol of insect pests for many years [1, 2]
