Abstract

Xenia2 is a DV cluster actinobacteriophage that infects Gordonia rubripertincta NRRL B-16540. The genome is 68,135bp, has a GC content of 57.9% and 98 predicted protein-coding genes, 33 of which have a predicted function. Xenia2 has a lysis cassette with an endolysin (lysin A) and four different holin-like transmembrane proteins.

Keywords: Gordonia rubripertincta; SEA PHAGES; annotation; bacteriophage genetics; bacteriophages; holin.
