Abstract

OKCentral2016 is the first mycobacteriophage sequenced from Oklahoma soil using the bacterial host Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc²155. OKCentral2016 has a double-stranded DNA genome composed of 50,072 bp, with 84 predicted coding genes and 1 tRNA sequence. This mycobacteriophage has sequence similarities to members of the A10 subcluster.
