Abstract

Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of the T4-like Klebsiella pneumoniae myophage Marfa. In its 168,532-bp genome, Marfa has 289 genes, for which 122 gene functions were predicted. Many similar proteins are shared between Marfa and phage T4, as well as its closest phage relatives.
