Abstract

Nucci, MCubed, and QMacho are microbacteriophages that were isolated from soil samples in Charlotte, NC. They were classified into EA10, EA2, and EB clusters, respectively. Nucci and MCubed each had 63 predicted genes, while QMacho had 73 predicted genes.

Keywords: bacteriophage genetics; genome.
