Abstract

Bacteriophage DumpQuist was isolated from soil collected in Clarksville, TN, using the bacterium Microbacterium foliorum. Electron microscopy revealed that DumpQuist has a podovirus morphology. DumpQuist has a 53,924-bp genome that contains 54 predicted protein-coding genes and is most similar to phages in actinobacteriophage cluster EK1.

Keywords: bacteriophage evolution; bacteriophages; genome analysis.
