Genome sequence of a new Streptomyces coelicolor generalized transducing bacteriophage, ΦCAM

J Virol. 2012 Dec;86(24):13860. doi: 10.1128/JVI.02681-12.

Abstract

Streptomyces coelicolor is a model system for the study of Streptomyces, a genus of bacteria responsible for the production of many clinically important antibiotics. Here we report the genome sequence of ΦCAM, a new S. coelicolor generalized transducing bacteriophage, isolated from a soil sample originating from Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. Many open reading frames within ΦCAM shared high levels of similarity to a prophage from Salinispora tropica and a putative prophage in Streptomyces sp. strain C.
