Betalipothrixvirus is a genus of viruses in the order Ligamenvirales, in the family Lipothrixviridae. Archaea serve as natural hosts. There are currently six species in this genus including the type species Sulfolobus islandicus filamentous virus.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: dsDNA

Structure

Viruses in Betalipothrixvirus are enveloped, with rod-shaped geometries. The diameter is around 24 nm, with a length of 2000 nm. Genomes are linear, around 40.5kb in length. The genome has 67 open reading frames.[1]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by adsorption into the host cell. Dna templated transcription is the method of transcription. Archaea serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.[1]
