Abstract

Mycobacteriophage CrystalP is a newly isolated phage infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc²155. CrystalP has a 76,483-bp genome and is predicted to contain 143 protein-coding and 2 tRNA genes, including repressor and integrase genes consistent with a temperate lifestyle. CrystalP is related to the mycobacteriophages Toto and Kostya and to other Cluster E phages.
