Abstract
Bacteriophages LittleDigger and Renkei were isolated from soil in Miami, FL, USA using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc² 155. Their genomes are 70,752 and 70,746 bp long, respectively, both encoding 98 predicted genes. They are assigned to the actinobacteriophage B4 cluster and revealed a siphoviral morphology by transmission electron microscopy.Keywords
