A comparison of RunningBrook to other phage that infect Microbacterium foliorum
Mia V Ringholz, Derek G Correa, Jolcey A Santana, Nick T Peters

RunningBrook is an ED cluster phage from subcluster ED2 that infects Microbacterium foliorum. It was isolated from garden remnants in fall of 2022 near Iowa State University. It produced medium sized plaques that were clear, a likely indication that it is a lytic phage. Electron microscopy suggested that it is a siphoviridae. A comparison of all sequenced phage from the host M. foliorum has revealed some interesting similarities and differences. The results of which are presented here.
