Abstract

Mycobacteriophages Candle, Schatzie, Sumter, and Waleliano were isolated from soil using the host bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155. Candle, Schatzie, and Sumter were discovered in Alabama and Waleliano in Maryland. The bacteriophages have been assigned clusters based on nucleotide similarity, as follows: Candle, R; Schatzie, J; Sumter, A1; and Waleliano, B4.
