Abstract

We report the discovery of two mycobacteriophages isolated from soil in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Ashballer has a genome sequence length of 52,231 bp, while Bombitas is relatively larger at 110,129 bp. Both have siphovirus morphologies and have temperate lifecycles.

Keywords: mycobacteriophage.
