Genome Announc. 2013 Dec 5;1(6):e00853-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00853-13.

Abstract

BigBertha is a myophage of Bacillus thuringiensis, a widely used biocontrol agent that is active against many insect pests of plants. Here, we present the complete annotated genome of BigBertha. The genome shares 85.9% sequence identity with Bacillus cereus phage B4.
