Abstract
We have characterized a large group of lytic Streptomyces siphophages and created a new family with two subfamilies and nine genera. The average member of this taxon possesses 130.25 kb genomes (49.3 mol%G+C, which is significantly less than that of their hosts) encoding for 233 proteins and 38 tRNA. While the phages which make up this taxon share a high number of homologous proteins, phylogenetic (vConTACT, ViPTree, and phylogenetic trees) all indicate that this group of viruses is cohesive and significantly different from other phages.
