Abstract

The Streptomyces genus produces over two-thirds of clinically useful, natural antibiotics. Here, we describe the isolation and genome annotation of siphophage Sentinel, which utilizes Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 as a host. It has a 50,272-bp genome and 83 protein-coding genes and shows similarity to other Streptomyces phages in the Arequatrovirus genus.
