ABSTRACT We isolated three environmental phages that infect Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, an opportunistic pathogen, from Playa Lakes in Lubbock, TX. report the genome sequences of lytic bacteriophages BL1, BL2, and BL3. Sequence similarity analysis revealed viruses belonged to unclassified species genus Pbunavirus within Caudoviricetes .
