Sicyoidochytrium minutum DNA virus (SmDNAV)

---

TEM of a novel virus (SmDNAV) infecting a heterotrophic protist Sicyoidochytrium minutum. (A) Negatively stained SmDNAV particles (scale bar = 200 nm); (B) thin section of a SmDNAV-infected cell at 24 h post inoculation (black arrowheads: intracellular virions; white arrowheads: extracellular virions).




Genome of Sicyoidochytrium minutum DNA virus (SmDNAV). (A) Nuclease treatment test. SmDNAV nucleic acids were untreated (Lane 1), treated with DNase I at 37°C (Lane 2), treated with RNase A at 37°C (Lane 3) and treated with S1 nuclease at 23°C (Lane 4).
