Key Points

EvenBluerMoon bacteriophage effectively infects Arthrobacter globiformis, showcasing its unique genetic traits.
Genome analysis reveals that EvenBluerMoon belongs to the FO cluster, indicating its ecological niche.
The bacteriophage possesses an icosahedral head and a long non-contractile tail, defining its structural characteristics.
Isolation of this environmental bacteriophage from Lubbock topsoil emphasizes the diverse phage populations in nature.

Implication

Genome sequence analysis identifies EvenBluerMoon bacteriophage from topsoil, highlighting its infection in Arthrobacter globiformis.

Abstract

We report the genome sequence analysis of an environmental bacteriophage discovered from topsoil in Lubbock, Texas, USA, as part of the SEA-PHAGES program. The bacteriophage, EvenBluerMoon, infects Arthrobacter globiformis and is a member of the FO cluster. EvenBluerMoon has an icosahedral head with a long non-contractile tail.
