Globuloviridae
Virus classification
Group:
Group I (dsDNA)
Family:
Globuloviridae
Genera
  • Globulovirus

Globuloviridae is a family of hyperthermophilic archaeal viruses. Crenarchaea of the genera Pyrobaculum and Thermoproteus serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this family, Pyrobaculum spherical virus and Thermoproteus tenax spherical virus 1, included into a single genus, Globulovirus.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: dsDNA

Order: Unassigned
  • Family: Globuloviridae
    • Genus: Globulovirus

[1]

Structure

Virions in the Globuloviridae are spherical and enveloped. The diameter is around 100 nm. Genomes are linear dsDNA and non-segmented, around 20-30kb in length.[1][2]

Genus Structure Symmetry Capsid Genomic arrangement Genomic segmentation
Globulovirus Spherical Enveloped Linear Monopartite

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Pyrobaculum and Thermoproteus archaea serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.[1]
