Abstract: There are 10 generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator identities are completely reflective automorphic products of singular weight on lattices of squarefree level. Under the assumption that the meromorphic vertex operator algebra of central charge 24 and spin-1 algebra $hat{A}_{p-1,p}^r$ exists we show that four of them can be constructed in a uniform way from bosonic strings moving on suitable target spaces.
