## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequences of two new bacteriophages, Mossy and Erutan, isolated from desert soil and belonging to different phage clusters.

## Contribution

The study provides new genome sequences and morphological data for two novel lytic phages infecting Gordonia rubripertincta.

## Key findings

- Mossy has a 61,183 bp genome and belongs to the DJ cluster of Actinobacteriophage.
- Erutan has a 66,957 bp genome and belongs to the DV cluster.

## Abstract

Lytic bacteriophages Mossy and Erutan were directly isolated from desert soil on Gordonia rubripertincta and characterized by their morphologies and genomes. Mossy, part of the DJ cluster of Actinobacteriophage, has a genome of 61,183 bp. The genome of Erutan, part of the DV cluster, is 66,957 bp.
