Okubovirus

Okubovirus is a genus of viruses in the order "Caudovirales", in the family "Herelleviridae", in the subfamily "Spounavirinae". Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are two species in this genus.
Taxonomy.
The following two species are assigned to the genus:
Structure.
Viruses in "Okubovirus" are non-enveloped, with head-tail geometries, and T=16 symmetry. The diameter is around 108 nm, with a length of 140 nm. Genomes are linear, around 145kb in length. The genome codes for 200 proteins.
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.
