Abstract

Eddiemania and UBSmoodge are bacteriophages isolated on Gordonia rubripertincta NRRL B-16540. Eddiemania has a 3' sticky overhang, a 61,427 bp genome predicted to encode 92 putative genes, and a siphovirus virion morphology. The UBSmoodge genome was identified as a circularly permuted, 92,786 bp long genome predicted to encode 130 putative genes and having a myovirus virion morphology.

Keywords: Gordonia; bacteriophage genetics; genome analysis.
