Punalikevirus is a genus of viruses in the order Caudovirales, in the family Myoviridae. Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this genus, including the type species Enterobacteria phage P1.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Group: dsDNA
Order: Caudovirales
- Family: Myoviridae
- Genus: Punalikevirus
Structure
Viruses in Punalikevirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and head-tail geometries. The diameter is around 85 nm. Genomes are circular, around 100kb in length. The genome codes for 100 proteins.[1]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic Arrangement | Genomic Segmentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Punalikevirus | Head-Tail | Non-Enveloped | Circular | Monopartite |
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. Bacteria serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.[1]
