Abstract:
CeilingFan and Mugiwara are novel BE2 cluster siphoviruses isolated from soil samples on Streptomyces griseus ATCC 10137 and Streptomyces avermitilis NRRL 8165, respectively. CeilingFan has a genome of 132,946 bp with 49.3% G+C content, and Mugiwara has a genome of 133,330 bp with 49.1% G+C content. Both phage genomes encode 44 tRNAs and one tmRNA. The phages are assigned to the BE2 cluster of actinobacteriophages based on gene content similarity.
