## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequences of two new phages, BabyYoda and Lynlen, discovered at Thiel College.

## Contribution

The study provides new insights into the genetic makeup of two lytic phages infecting Microbacterium foliorum.

## Key findings

- BabyYoda and Lynlen are predicted to be lytic phages with siphovirus morphologies.
- The genome sizes of BabyYoda and Lynlen are 41,557 and 41,448 base pairs, respectively.

## Abstract

BabyYoda and Lynlen are two cluster EB phages that were discovered at Thiel College using Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224. Both BabyYoda and Lynlen are predicted to be lytic, with siphovirus morphologies, with genome sizes of 41,557 and 41,448 base pairs, respectively.

## Linked entities
