Expansion of Known Rhodobacter capsulatus Bacteriophage Diversity with 24 Additional Genomes

We report the genome sequences of 24 newly discovered bacteriophages that infect Rhodobacter capsulatus, a model for photosynthesis and horizontal gene transfer studies. All have substantial relatedness to previously reported siphovirus bacteriophages. Most are categorized in known clusters (RcB, Rc...

Sumario:We report the genome sequences of 24 newly discovered bacteriophages that infect Rhodobacter capsulatus, a model for photosynthesis and horizontal gene transfer studies. All have substantial relatedness to previously reported siphovirus bacteriophages. Most are categorized in known clusters (RcB, RcC, RcD, and RcF), with one forming a new cluster, RcG.
