Abstract

EleanorGeorge, Mattes, and Spikelee are mycobacteriophages isolated from different soil samples using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 as the host. Each was obtained using direct isolation techniques, purified, and then sequenced. Based on sequence similarity, all three belong to the F1 subcluster and are temperate phages.
