Abstract

Five siphoviruses were isolated from soil in southeastern Pennsylvania using Microbacterium foliorum. Bacteriophages NeumannU and Eightball have 25 predicted genes, Chivey and Hiddenleaf have 87 genes, and GaeCeo has 60 genes. Based on gene content similarity to sequenced actinobacteriophages, these five phages are distributed across clusters EA, EE, and EF.
