Abstract

We report the isolation of two virulent phages from an outdoor algal pond infecting the bacteria <i>Microbacterium chocolatum</i> strain GAI20246-6. Their genomes are both 53.6kb with a GC content of 67.8%. Some genomic features are described as well as morphological characteristics based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs.
