Complete Genome Sequences of Eleven Cluster DJ Gordonia rubripertincta Bacteriophages

Eleven novel cluster DJ <i>Gordonia rubripertincta</i> phages were isolated from soil collected in Pittsburgh, PA and Omaha, NE. The genomes of these phages have an average length of 60,185 bp and contain an average of 91 predicted genes. Genes with putative roles in structure, assembly, lysis, and nucleic acid processing were identified. Cluster DJ phages have an unusually low average G+C content (51.6%) compared to <i>G. rubripertincta</i> (~67%). These phages are also unusual in the organization of genes involved in lysis, the inclusion of two related major tail protein genes, and the absence of a candidate tail assembly chaperone gene.
