Family “Clavaviridae”
Species - Aeropyrum pernix bacilliform virus 1, APBV1, ; circular dsDNA 5,278 bp, sequence acc. no. AB537968
The virion of APBV1 has rigid bacilliform morphology, about 140 x 20 nm, with one end pointed and the other rounded. It contains highly glycosylated single major protein and three minor proteins. Scale bars, 100 nm
The circular, double-stranded DNA genome comprising 5,278 bp is the smallest for known archaeal viruses. The host, Aeropyrum pernix, is the most thermophilic species among aerobic organisms, growing optimally at 90°C.
