Abstract

Bacteriophages reported in this announcement were isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc 2 155, Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224, and Gordonia terrae CAG3. The 24 phages span 19 different clusters, and range in genome length from 41.8 kbp to 151.1 kbp. Phage CherryTomatoes is only the fourth reported actinobacteriophage isolated using G. terrae that possesses a myovirus morphology.
