| Characterization |
| Cluster | AZ |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Cluster Life Cycle | Temperate |
| Lysogeny Notes | Different conditions have produced either bullseye or completely turbid plaques and, in a few cases, clear plaques have been observed. The switch from bullseye plaques to turbid/clear plaques indicate a switch in life cycle which is indicative of the temperate life cycle.
Serine integrase was identified during annotation. |
