Isolation of a phage with an arabinosylated genome from a cheese microbial community

Published: Jul 19, 2023

We sampled cheese microbial communities to discover bacteriophages with unusual genome chemistries. We isolated 114 bacterial host strains and 17 phages, and identified one phage with a probable arabinose hypermodification of hydroxymethylcytosine.
