Abstract

Somatic coliphages are alternative indicators of fecal pollution and attractive surrogates for viral pathogens. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three replicate plaques from a novel Myoviridae bacteriophage isolated from raw wastewater. These genomes were similar to felix01virus phage and are predicted to contain up to 148 protein-coding genes.
