Abstract

We report genomes of nine phages isolated from Actinobacteria Rhodococcus equi NRRL B-16538. Six of these phages belong to actinobacteriophage cluster CR, which otherwise contains Gordonia phages; two form the CF cluster; and one is a singleton. Genome lengths are 62,017-80,980 bp with 63.9%-67.3% GC content.

Keywords: Actinobacteria; Rhodococcus; bacteriophages; genomes.
