Isolating and characterizing cluster AB Mycobacteriophage NoShow, which encodes lysis proteins shared with cluster H2 phages

Abstract

ABSTRACT We present here Mycobacteriophage NoShow, isolated from a soil sample collected on the Maguire Campus of Saint Joseph’s University in Merion Station, Pennsylvania. Even though NoShow’s 52,825 bp genome is most similar to phages in cluster AB, its lysA and lysB genes are most similar to phages in cluster H2.
