Article Synopsis
  • - This study presents the genome sequences of 31 mycobacteriophages that were isolated at room temperature using the mc155 strain.
  • - The genomes contribute to the diversity of established phage clusters A, B, C, G, and K.
  • - A total of 70 new protein-coding genes were identified, which do not have closely related counterparts in other actinobacteriophages.

Examinations of ecological responses to urbanization are abundant, but much less work has focused on the physiological responses driving those ecological patterns, particularly in mammals.
