VOLN27B: A New Head-Tailed Halovirus Isolated from an Underground Salt Crystal and Infecting < em > Halorubrum < /em >
Archaea. 2021 Dec 14;2021:8271899. doi: 10.1155/2021/8271899. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTA novel halovirus, VOLN27B, was isolated from a drill core sample taken at a depth of approximately 430 m, from a layer formed during the Cretaceous period (Anhui, China). VOLN27B infects the halophilic archaeon Halorubrum sp. LN27 and has a head-tailed morphotype with a contractile tail, typical of myoviruses. The average head diameter is 64 ± 2.0 nm, and uncontracted tails are 15 ± 1.0 × 65 ± 2.0 nm. The latent period is about 10 h. The maturing time of VOLN27B in cells of Halorubrum sp. LN27 was nearly 8 h. The adsorption time of ...
