Key Points

To report the genome sequence and characteristics of the novel bacteriophage TownLake isolated from an environmental sample.
Isolated bacteriophage from an environmental sample in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
Utilized Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 as the host.
Performed transmission electron microscopy to assess morphology.
Phage TownLake has a genome length of 53,817 bp.
Predicted to contain 52 protein-coding genes.
Assigned to subcluster EK1 with podoviral morphology observed under electron microscopy.

Implication

Isolated phage TownLake shows podoviral morphology and a genome of 53,817 bp with 52 genes, indicating viral diversity.

Abstract

Bacteriophage TownLake was discovered and isolated from an environmental sample in Pembroke Pines, Florida, using Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 as the host. TownLake has a 53,817 bp genome containing 52 predicted protein-coding genes and is assigned to subcluster EK1. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a podoviral morphology.
