We sequenced the genome of the novel Enterobacter bacteriophage Tyrion isolated from termite gut. The bacteriophage is temperate in nature and belongs to the Podoviridae family. Many predicted bacteriophage genes showed similarity to prophage regions of the genomes of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria. This is the second bacteriophage isolated from termite gut.
