Abstract

Ebony and Holeinone represent the first mycobacteriophages isolated from Charlotte, NC, soil samples, using the host Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc²155. Ebony has a 52,152-bp genome and showed similarity to other phages in the A11 subcluster. Holeinone has a 67,044-bp genome and showed similarity to other phages in the B2 subcluster.
