Bullavirinae

Bullavirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the family Microviridae. Enterobacteria serve as natural hosts. There are currently 14 species in this subfamily, organized into three genera.[1]

Structure

Viruses in Bullavirinae are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and T=1 symmetry. The diameter is around 30 nm. Genomes are circular, around 6.1kb in length.[2]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by pilus-mediated adsorption into the host cell. Replication follows the ssDNA rolling circle model. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by bacteria lysis.

Enterobacteria serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.[2]

gollark: I think there's one algorithm where you partition the space into a tree or something and approximate the forces, I forget what it's called.
gollark: There are ways to approximate it.
gollark: <@630513495003103242> I do not think there are more OSes. Why do you need to review every existent OS anyway?
gollark: Hmm, isn't JavaScript's sort method lexicographic? Clearly it's ahead of the times.
