Background!#!Jumbo phages, phages with genomes > 200 kbp, contain some unique genes for successful reproduction in their bacterial hosts. Due to complex and massive genomes analogous to those of small-celled bacteria, how jumbo phages complete their life cycle remains largely undefined.!##!Results!#!In this study, we assembled 668 high-quality jumbo phage genomes from over 15 terabytes (TB) of intestinal metagenomic data from 955 samples of 5 animal species (cow, sheep, pig, horse, and deer). Within them, we obtained a complete genome of 716 kbp in length, which is the largest phage genome so far reported in the gut environments. Interestingly, 174 out of the 668 jumbo phages were found to encode all genes required for the synthesis of NAD!##!Conclusion!#!In summary, this study expands our understanding of the diversity and survival strategies of phages, and an in-depth study of the NAD-jumbo phages is crucial for understanding their role in ecological regulation.
