Bacteriophages are the most numerous biological entities in the biosphere, and although
their genetic diversity is high, it remains ill defined. Mycobacteriophages—the viruses of
mycobacterial hosts—provide insights into this diversity as well as tools for manipulating
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report here the complete genome sequences of 138 new
mycobacteriophages, which—together with the 83 mycobacteriophages previously reported—

Abstract
Bacteriophages are the most numerous biological entities in the biosphere, and although their genetic diversity is high, it remains ill defined. Mycobacteriophages—the viruses of mycobacterial hosts—provide insights into this diversity as well as tools for manipulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report here the complete genome sequences of 138 new mycobacteriophages, which—together with the 83 mycobacteriophages previously reported—represent the largest collection of phages known to infect a single common host, Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155.
