Bacillus subtilis-infecting phage BSP38 was isolated from a sewage sample. Morphologically, BSP38 was found to be similar to members of the subfamily Spounavirinae, family Myoviridae. Its genome is 153,268 bp long with 41.8% G+C content and 254 putative open reading frames (ORFs) as well as six tRNAs. A distinguishing feature for this phage among the reported B. subtilis-infecting phages is the presence of an encoding ORF, putative tRNA guanylyltransferase-like protein. Genomic comparisons with the other reported phages strongly suggest that BSP38 should be considered a member of a new genus in the subfamily Spounavirinae.
从污水样本中分离出了感染枯草芽孢杆菌的噬菌体BSP38。在形态学上，发现BSP38与肌尾噬菌体科Spounavirinae亚科的成员相似。其基因组长度为153,268 bp，G+C含量为41.8%，有254个推定的开放阅读框（ORF）以及6个tRNA。在已报道的感染枯草芽孢杆菌的噬菌体中，该噬菌体的一个显著特征是存在一个编码推定的tRNA鸟苷酰转移酶样蛋白的ORF。与其他已报道噬菌体的基因组比较强烈表明，BSP38应被视为Spounavirinae亚科一个新属的成员。
