Complete Annotated Genome Sequences of Two Novel Microbacteriophages, Gingerbug and HerculesXL, from Western Oregon, USA

Bacteriophages Gingerbug and HerculesXL are siphoviruses that were isolated from soil in western Oregon, USA, using the actinobacterium Microbacterium foliorum. The genomes of Gingerbug and HerculesXL are similar in length and, based on gene content similarity to actinobacteriophages, were assigned to phage clusters GF and EA11, respectively.
