Abstract

We announce the discovery of two mycobacteriophages isolated from soil in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Phage Dove has a genome sequence length of 108,976bp, a siphovirus morphology, and a predicted temperate lifecycle. Phage Issimir has a genome sequence length of 155,564bp, a myovirus morphology, and a predicted lytic lifecycle.
