Genome and raw sequencing data of mycobacteriophage MP2451 isolated from soil in Yangzhou, China
Mycobacteriophage MP2451 was isolated from campus soil samples collected in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 was used as the host strain for isolation and amplification. Whole-genome short-read sequencing was performed on the Illumina platform to generate raw sequencing data, followed by genome assembly and comprehensive gene annotation. This BioProject links raw Illumina reads stored in SRA and the complete annotated phage genome deposited in GenBank. This study explores the genomic characteristics and lytic activity of novel mycobacteriophages to support the development of phage therapy against mycobacterial pathogens.
