Luz24likevirus is a genus of viruses in the order Caudovirales, in the family Podoviridae. Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this genus, including the type species Pseudomonas phage LUZ24.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Group: dsDNA
- Family: Podoviridae
- Genus: Luz24likevirus
- Pseudomonas phage LUZ24
- Pseudomonas phage PaP3
The currently recognized species within this genus are the Pseudomonas infecting viruses Pseudomonas phage LUZ24 and Pseudomonas phage PaP3. These viruses have diverged considerably from other phages whose genomes are known.[3][4]
Structure
Viruses in Luz24likevirus are non-enveloped, with an icosahedral head (63 nm) and a short tail (12x8 nm).[1] Although these phages produce small and turbid plaques, all attempts to isolate stable lysogenic P. aeruginosa clones failed. In addition, their genome (around 45kb) does not encode obvious genes indicative of lysogeny.[5] Genomes are linear, around 45kb in length.[1]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic Arrangement | Genomic Segmentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luz24likevirus | Head-Tail | Non-Enveloped | Linear | 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]
