Abstract

Geobacillus kaustophilus GBlys is a lysogenic strain of the temperate phage phiOH2, which is 3,644,428 bp long, has a GC content of 52%, and contains 3,595 predicted protein-coding genes. Here, we report a resequenced GBlys genome obtained by deep sequencing with long and short reads.

Keywords: Geobacillus kaustophilus; lysogenic phage; prophage; thermophiles.
