Whole-Genome Sequence of Myxococcus Phage Mx9.

ABSTRACT: Here, we characterize the genome of Myxococcus phage Mx9, a lysogenic, short-tailed phage (genus Lederbergvirus) phage infecting the bacterial host Myxococcus xanthus, a model for bacterial evolution and development. The 53.5-kb genome has a GC content of 67.5% and contains 98 predicted protein-coding genes, including the previously characterized site-specific integrase gene (int).
