title: Genome sequence of a novel actinophage PIS136 isolated from a strain of Saccharomonospora sp.
abstract: A wide-host-range bacteriophage (phage) PIS136 was isolated from PA136, a strain of Saccharomonospora belonging to the group actinomycetes. Here, we present the genome sequence of the PIS136 phage, which is 94,870 bp long and contains 132 putative coding sequences and one tRNA gene. An IS element-like region with two genes for putative transposases was identified in the genome. The presence of IS element-like sequences suggests that PIS136 is still under active evolution.
