Abstract
We report the genome sequences of two Rhizobium-infecting siphophages,B1VFA and V1VFA-S, isolated from Canadian agricultural soils. Both encode genesassociated with plasmid maintenance, including parA, parB, and repC, and share similargenome architecture. These phages expand the diversity of rhizobiophages and mayrepresent a distinct siphophage lineage.
