Abstract
Phage QuinnAvery produces turbid plaques in Arthrobacter globiformis B-2979 lawns, displays a siphovirus morphology, and is clustered with FF actinobacteriophages. The 43,177 bp genome of QuinnAvery is predicted to contain a tRNA-Arg(TCT) gene and 69 protein-coding genes. Homologs of a subset of QuinnAvery's predicted genes have putative roles in viral structure, particle assembly, host cell lysis, and lysogeny. QuinnAvery's genome is predicted to contain two tyrosine integrases, similar to many other cluster FF phages. However, the area immediately surrounding the integration cassette in QuinnAvery is distinct from all other annotated members of cluster FF.
