Guttaviridae is a family of viruses. Archaea serve as natural hosts.[1][2] The name is derived from the Latin gutta, meaning 'droplet'.[3][4][5] The family contains one genus, Alphaguttavirus, which contains one species: Aeropyrum pernix ovoid virus 1 (Betaguttavirus kodakarajimaense).[6]
Taxonomy
[edit]The family currently contains one genera and species:[6][7]
- Betaguttavirus
- Aeropyrum pernix ovoid virus 1 (Betaguttavirus kodakarajimaense)
Genus Alphaguttavirus and species Sulfolobus newzealandicus droplet-shaped virus were removed in ICTV version 2021.[8]
Structure
[edit]Viruses in the family Guttaviridae are enveloped. The diameter is around 55–80 nm, with a length of 75–130 nm. Genomes are circular double-stranded DNA around 14 kilobases in length.[2][3] Virions are ovoid or droplet-shaped and covered with globular subunits.[2]
Life cycle
[edit]DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Archaea serve as the natural host.[2][3]
