## TL;DR

Three new bacteriophages were discovered in North Carolina soil and found to be lytic phages with similar genome sizes.

## Contribution

The paper introduces three novel lytic bacteriophages in the CT cluster, isolated using Gordonia rubripertincta.

## Key findings

- PotPie, HippoPololi, and BillDoor are siphoviral bacteriophages grouped in the CT cluster.
- Each phage has a genome size of approximately 45,000 to 48,000 base pairs.
- The phages are predicted to be lytic based on genome analysis.

## Abstract

PotPie, HippoPololi and BillDoor are bacteriophages with siphoviral morphologies that were isolated from soil in North Carolina using
Gordonia rubripertincta
. The three phages are all grouped in the CT cluster, with genomes of 48182 bp, 45423 bp, and 44875 bp, respectively, and are predicted to be lytic.
