The Rhizidiovirus genus consists of dsDNA viruses[1] that infect stramenopiles.
Virology
The viron is non enveloped, isosahedral with a diameter of 60 nanometers (nm).
The genome is non segmented, linear double stranded DNA and ~25.5 kilobases in length. It has a guanine + cytosine content of 42%. It encodes at least 14 protein with molecular weights between 84.5 to 26 kiloDaltons.
