over 130 kbp, and they contain direct terminal repeats of approximately 11 kbp. Eight newly
isolated closely related cluster BE1 phages contain 43 to 48 tRNAs, one transfer-messenger
RNA (tmRNA), and 216 to 236 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), but few of their genes
are shared with other phages, including those infecting Streptomyces species.
