Figure 1. The 50 intact predicted L. curvatus prophages, pre-sorted by their phylogenetic relationship. Closer related phages are
depicted next to each other. The phylogenetic tree is depicted as a cladogram and was constructed after whole genome alignment of
those prophages. Prophages are displayed ranging from their predicted attL to their attR sites. Whole genome BLAST analysis was
[42]
performed via Easyfig and indicates nucleotide similarities between 63% and 100% (darker bars between the sequences indicate
higher similarity). “-RC” after the name of the phage indicates that the reverse complement sequence of the found phage region is
displayed. Genes were colourised for their predicted task: Lysogeny (ochre), replication (green), packaging (lilac), head (light blue), tail
(dark blue), fiber (yellow; includes host recognition genes), lysis (red), hypothetical protein (grey), transposase (light yellow), unknown
task (white), and tRNA (pink). L. curvatus: Latilactobacillus curvatus.

completeness level, and there were no strains with zero detected phage-related sequences. The number of
phage-related sequences per strain of any completeness level ranged from one to 14. In a similar fashion to
our previous prophage screening in L. sakei, PHASTER struggled to detect the exact borders of some of the
