We isolated two closely related strains that belong to the Myoviridae family and infect cyanobacteria in a shallow subarctic rock basin lake. Their host was identified as a member of the Synechococcus-Cyanobium complex. Sequenced genomes of the two phages were 244,930 bp and 243,633 bp. We describe their annotation and highlight some noteworthy features.
