Abstract

We report the discovery and genome sequence of bacteriophage Aoka, an actinobacteriophage isolated from a soil sample in Pueblo, Colorado using Arthrobacter globiformis, B2880-SEA. Its genome length is 36,744 base pairs with 54 protein-coding genes. Based on gene content similarity to other actinobacteriophages, Aoka is assigned to cluster FO.

Keywords: Arthrobacter globiformis; actinophage; bacteriophage; phage genome.
