Bruynoghevirus


Bruynoghevirus is a genus of viruses in the order Caudovirales. Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are seven species in this genus.

Taxonomy

The following species are recognized:Pseudomonas virus Ab22Pseudomonas virus CHUPseudomonas virus LUZ24Pseudomonas virus PAA2Pseudomonas virus PaP3Pseudomonas virus PaP4

Structure

Viruses in Bruynoghevirus are non-enveloped, with an icosahedral head and a short tail. Although these phages produce small and turbid plaques, all attempts to isolate stable lysogenic P. aeruginosa clones failed. In addition, their genome does not encode obvious genes indicative of lysogeny. Genomes are linear, around 45kb in length.

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.
