Abstract

Mycobacteriophages Chancellor, Mitti, and Wintermute infect Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 and are closely related to phages Cheetobro and Fionnbharth in subcluster K4. Genome sizes range from 57,697 bp to 58,046 bp. Phages are predicted to be temperate and to infect the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
