Abstract

Wes44 and Carmen17 are siphoviruses that infect Bacillus thuringiensis DSM-350. Wes44 contains 42,248 base pairs and 54 predicted genes; Carmen17 contains 41,820 base pairs and 51 predicted genes. The genomes are 95% similar to each other and distantly related to Bacillus cereus bacteriophage PBC1.
