We report the complete genome sequences of two bacteriophages, Aussie and StopSmel, isolated from soil using the host Sinorhizobium meliloti NRRL L-50. The genomes are similar in length and gene content and share 76% nucleotide identity. Comparative analysis of Aussie and StopSmel identified core functional modules associated with Mu-like bacteriophages.
