Abstract

Azira is a CT cluster actinobacteriophage that infects Gordonia rubripertincta NRRL B-16540. The genome contains 67 predicted protein coding genes, of which 31 have a putative function. Azira has a lysis cassette encoding two endolysins and three transmembrane proteins. Azira contains four genes predicted to encode enzymes involved in thymine synthesis.
