Whole genome sequencing of Rhodobacter phage phiRP-1
Rhodobacter phage phiRP-1 is a lytic bacteriophage that was isolated from hypersaline microbial mats at Cabo Rojo Salterns, Puerto Rico. The phage genome was sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore GridION sequencer, generated to characterize its genomic features and to support studies of phage diversity and virus-host interactions in hypersaline microbial mat ecosystems.
