ABSTRACT Bacteriophage OmaKarin was isolated on a restriction-deficient variant of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 laboratory strain. We sequenced its 37,543 bp genome and classified it within the Casadabanvirus genus of temperate phages. Interestingly, a transposon has disrupted the lysogeny control module of OmaKarin, possibly explaining its apparent lack of temperate behavior.
Ransome et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
