Five subcluster C1 mycobacteriophages, Blackbrain, Cactojaque, Kboogie, Trinitium, and YoungMoneyMata, were isolated from soil using the host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc155. The genome sizes range from 154,512 to 156,223 bp. The largest genome encodes 237 predicted proteins, 34 tRNAs, and 1 transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA).

Four lytic mycobacteriophages, namely, SynergyX, Abinghost, Bananafish, and Delton, were isolated from soil in Washington, DC, using the bacterial host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc155. Analysis of the genomes revealed that they belong to two subclusters of actinobacteriophage cluster B (subclusters B2 and B3) and subcluster D1 of cluster D.

Diversity within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) remains disturbingly low. Relative to larger, highly funded universities, smaller schools harbor more diverse student demographics and more limited resources. Here, we propose four strategies leveraging the unique advantages of smaller institutions to advance underrepresented scholars along STEM pathways.

Two temperate mycobacteriophages, Dallas and Jonghyun, were isolated from soil in Washington, DC, using the bacterial host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc155. Analysis of the genomes revealed that Dallas and Jonghyun belong to clusters J and G, respectively. The structures of the genomes are typical of their respective clusters.
