Isolation and Bioinformatic Characterization of Four Novel Bacteriophages from Streptomyces toxytricini

Six initial phage isolates with high titer lysates were obtained using Streptomyces toxytricini B-5426 as the host bacterium. These isolates were named Goby, Toma, Yosif, Yara, Deema, and Hsoos. However, upon completion of the sequencing, it was found that the Yara and Hsoos isolates were identical, as were Goby and Deema. As a result, final analysis was completed on only the four unique isolates. All of the phages mentioned above were isolated from soil samples from different locations. Also, they had different sizes of plaques, ranging from 0.3 – 0.9mm. Yosif had the largest plaque size. Yara's head diameter was 79nm with tail diameter of 94nm.
