archaeal viruses การใช้

• Archaeal viruses belong to 15 families and infect members of 16 archaeal genera.
• Other archaeal viruses resemble the tailed bacteriophages, and can have multiple tail structures.
• Although ~ 50 archaeal viruses are known, all but two have double stranded genomes.
• Rudivirus are promising candidates to become a general model for detailed studies of archaeal virus biology.
• Infection appears to be productive without lysis of the host like may of the archaeal viruses.
• Since 1959 ~ 6300 prokaryote viruses have been described morphologically, including ~ 6200 bacterial and ~ 100 archaeal viruses.
• Tailed archaeal viruses are found only in the Euryarchaeota, whereas most filamentous and pleomorphic archaeal viruses occur in the Crenarchaeota.
• Tailed archaeal viruses are found only in the Euryarchaeota, whereas most filamentous and pleomorphic archaeal viruses occur in the Crenarchaeota.
• These are indeed easily maintained under laboratory conditions and can be obtained in sufficient yields, unlike many other archaeal viruses.
• However, this theory is controversial, and additional experimentation involving archaeal viruses is necessary, as they are probably the most evolutionarily similar to modern eukaryotic nuclei.
