Rio Negro virophage: Sequencing of the near complete genome and transmission electron microscopy of viral factories and particles
Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
ABSTRACT Rio Negro virophage (RNV) was co-isolated with a strain of mimivirus named sambavirus, from Brazilian Amazon. We report the near complete genome sequence of RNV, the first virophage isolated in Brazil. We also present new microscopical data demonstrating that RNV particles have similar dimension...
