Abstract:
AWGoat, a lytic bacteriophage that infects Arthrobacter globiformis, was isolated from a goat pen in Charlotte, NC. Its genome is 65,496 bp long, with a GC content of 67.1%. Based on gene content similarity, AWGoat is assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster AP. It encodes a putative toxin from a broadly distributed toxin/antitoxin pair and an unusually large minor tail protein.
