Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages are ubiquitous and highly genetically diverse biological entities. Here we describe the isolation and bioinformatic characterization of 56 phages isolated on two Rhodococcus spp. They include both lytic and temperate phages and are grouped with previously described Rhodococcus phages into six clusters and 16 singletons based on genome similarity. Their genome sizes range from 43.9 kbp to 142 kbp...
