Abstract

Actinobacteriophage Magritte was isolated from soil in Columbia, TN using Microbacterium foliorum as a host. Magritte is a singleton with a siphovirus morphology and a large genome of 133,228 bp encoding 250 predicted genes, including 26 tRNA genes.

Grants and funding

The work was supported by the Columbia State Community College Biology Department and the Student Engagement, Retention, and Success grant from the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR SERS).
