- Abstract
PVJ1 Is Not the First Tailed Temperate Phage Infecting Bacteria from Genus Psychrobacillus. To our knowledge, phages Perkons and Spoks are the first phages capable of infecting a bacterium belonging to the genus I Psychrobacillus i that had their complete annotated genomes publicly available. With this letter, we would like to emphasize the self-evident need of phage researchers to make use of public biological sequence repositories to keep track of the currently available phage diversity, especially for supplementing claims requiring a high burden of proof (e.g., the isolated phage is the first known phage infecting "X", where "X" is a variable).
