# Complete genome sequences of bacteriophages Guetzie and SirVictor, isolated from Microbacterium foliorum

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome sequences of two new bacteriophages, Guetzie and SirVictor, isolated from soil using a specific bacterial host.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in the discovery and sequencing of two new bacteriophages with identical genome lengths and gene counts.

## Key findings

- Guetzie and SirVictor are lytic siphoviral bacteriophages with identical genome lengths of 39,758 bp.
- Each phage genome contains 58 predicted protein-coding genes and one tRNA gene.

## Abstract

Cluster EA4 Guetzie and SirVictor are lytic siphoviral bacteriophages that were isolated from soil in Waverly, Iowa, using Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 as the host. The Guetzie and SirVictor genomes are both 39,758 bp each, and both contain 58 predicted protein-coding genes with one tRNA gene each.
