Abstract

The genomes of lytic, cluster CT Gordonia terrae phages, Horseradish and Yummy, are 45,764 and 45,878 bp in length, respectively, and each encodes 71 protein-coding genes. The genomes are identical in sequence with the exception of a 38-bp insertion/deletion in the minor tail protein, gp26.

Keywords: Actinobacteria; bacteriophage; genome.
