Hotorobo, Woes, and Monty are newly isolated bacteriophages of Gordonia terrae 3612. The three phages are related, and their genomes are similarly sized (76,972 bp, 73,752 bp, and 75,680 bp for Hotorobo, Woes, and Monty, respectively) and organized. They have extremely long tails and among the longest tape measure protein genes described to date.

- Three newly identified phages, named Obliviate, UmaThurman, and Guacamole, target the bacterium Gordonia terrae 3612.
- These phages have genomes that are similar to each other but distinct from other known phages.
- They are expected to utilize integration-dependent immunity systems, a feature seen in several mycobacteriophages.
Mycobacteriophage ShedlockHolmes is a newly isolated phage infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155. It has a 61,081-bp genome containing 99 predicted protein-coding genes and one tRNA gene. ShedlockHolmes is closely related to mycobacteriophages Pixie, Keshu, and MacnCheese and is a new member of subcluster K3.
