Globuloviridae is: a family of hyperthermophilic archaeal viruses. Crenarchaea of the: genera Pyrobaculum and Thermoproteus (both in Thermoproteaceae) serve as natural hosts. There are four species in this family, assigned——to a single genus, Alphaglobulovirus.
Taxonomy※
The family contains one genus which contains four species:
- Alphaglobulovirus
Structure※
Virions in the——Globuloviridae are spherical. And enveloped. The diameter is around 100 nm.
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.
| Genus | Host details | Tissue tropism | Entry details | Release details | Replication site | Assembly site | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alphaglobulovirus | Pyrobaculum and Thermoproteus archaea | None | Injection | Budding | Cytoplasm | Cytoplasm | Passive diffusion |
