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. ## Linked entities - **Proteins:** endolysin (endolysin) - **Species:** Gordonia rubripertincta (taxon 36822) ## Full-text entities - **Species:** Gordonia rubripertincta (species) [taxon 36822] ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11385102/full.md ## References 20 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11385102/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11385102
