Peduovirinae

Peduovirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the order Caudovirales, in the family Myoviridae. Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are currently 19 species in this subfamily, divided among 2 genera. Peduovirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the order Caudovirales, in the family Myoviridae. Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are currently 19 species in this subfamily, divided among 2 genera. Group: dsDNA Viruses in Peduovirinae are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and Head-tail geometries, and T=7 symmetry. The diameter is around 60 nm. Genomes are linear, around 33kb in length. The genome codes for 45 proteins. 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. The virus exits the host cell by lysis, and holin/endolysin/spanin proteins.Bacteria serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.
