Lytic bacteriophages of <i>Gordonia rubripertincta</i> from topsoil in Lubbock, Texas: FlyingTortilla and ScarletRaider
We isolated two environmental phages, as part of the Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Sciences program, that infect <i>Gordonia rubripertincta</i> from topsoil in Lubbock, Texas. We report the complete genome sequences of lytic bacteriophages FlyingTortilla and ScarletRaider. Sequence similarity analysis reveals the viruses as a part of an unclassified order within the <i>Caudoviricetes</i> class.
