Gammaflexiviridae is a family of viruses in the order Tymovirales. Fungi serve as natural hosts. There are currently only one genus, Mycoflexivirus, and one species in this family: the type species Botrytis virus F.[1][2][3]

Structure

Viruses in Gammaflexiviridae are non-enveloped, with flexuous and Filamentous geometries. The diameter is around 12-13 nm, with a length of 720 nm. Genomes are linear, around 6.8kb in length. The genome has 2 open reading frames.[1]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Fungi serve as the natural host.[1]

gollark: I won't be able to play for a few days at least.

gollark: Better idea: dig out all roads to bedrock, fill trenches with lava.

gollark: It will produce... excitement...

gollark: Break into everyone's house and install potatos.

gollark: And is not 2/2.5m away from.the stuff.
