Structure

Viruses in Punalikevirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and head-tail geometries. The diameter is around 85 nm. Genomes are circular, around 100kb in length. The genome codes for 100 proteins.[1]

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]
