Abstract

Escherichia phages vB_EcoM-fFiEco06 and vB_EcoM-fHoEco02 were found to have 167,076-bp and 167,064-bp genomes, respectively. They are members of genus T4virus, and they are 99.96% identical to each other. The host ranges of the phages are different, probably due to a few differences in their tail protein amino acid sequences.
