vB_BmeM-Goe8 is a phage preying on Bacillus megaterium. Its genome has a GC content of 38.9%, is 161,583 bp in size, and has defined ends consisting of 7436-bp-long terminal repeats. It harbours 11 genes encoding tRNAs and 246 coding DNA sequences, 66 of which were annotated. The particle reveals Myoviridae morphology, and the formation of a double baseplate upon tail sheath contraction indicates morphological relatedness to the group of SPO1-like phages. BLASTn comparison against the NCBI non-redundant nucleotide database revealed that Bacillus phage Mater is the closest relative of vB_BmeM-Goe8.
vB_BmeM-Goe8 是一种噬杀巨大芽孢杆菌的噬菌体。其基因组 GC 含量为 38.9%，大小为 161583bp，两端由 7436bp 长的末端重复序列定义。它包含 11 个编码 tRNA 的基因和 246 个编码 DNA 序列，其中 66 个被注释。该颗粒呈现出肌尾噬菌体科的形态，尾部鞘收缩时形成双基板表明其与 SPO1 样噬菌体群在形态上具有亲缘关系。与 NCBI 非冗余核苷酸数据库的 BLASTn 比较表明，芽孢杆菌噬菌体 Mater 是 vB_BmeM-Goe8 最接近的亲缘。
