Abstract

We describe the genome of Microvirus-AZ-2020, which was identified from wastewater in Arizona, USA, in October 2020. Microvirus-AZ-2020 belongs to subfamily Gokushovirinae and contains six (five known and one hypothetical) open reading frames (ORFs), each with .40 codons. HHPred analysis and Colabfold structure prediction suggest that the hypothetical ORF encodes a previously undescribed putative DNA-binding protein.
