Phage Phi M12 is an important transducing phage of the nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. Here we report the genome, phylogenetic analysis, and proteome of Phi M12, the first report of the genome and proteome of a rhizobium-infecting T4-superfamily phage. The structural genes of Phi M12 are most similar to T4-superfamily phages of cyanobacteria. Phi M12 is the first reported T4-superfamily phage to lack genes encoding class I ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) and exonuclease dexA, and to possess a class II coenzyme B-12-dependent RNA. Phi M12's novel collection of genes establishes it as the founder of a new group of T4-superfamily phages, fusing features of cyanophages and phages of enteric bacteria. (C) 2013 The Authors.
