Abstract

Here, we present bacteriophage SoJo, a siphovirus infecting Streptomyces mirabilis, with a circularly permuted genome of 39 kbp and GC content of 71.5%. Its genome length and content are similar to that of other phages in the Actinobacteriophage Database BC cluster. SoJo was isolated from soil in Columbia, MD, USA.
