Cluster K phages infect hosts in the following genus

Mycobacterium

Lysogeny notes for Cluster K phages

Phages in this cluster are generally temperate. (This does not, however, guarantee that every single phage will be able to form lysogens, as some may have had important lysogeny genes deleted.)
