RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Prangishvili, David A1 Mochizuki, Tomohiro A1 Krupovic, Mart A1 ICTV Report ConsortiumYR 2018 T1 ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Guttaviridae JF Journal of General Virology, VO 99 IS 3 SP 290 OP 291 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001027 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2099, AB Guttaviridae is a family of enveloped viruses infecting hyperthermophilic archaea. The virions are ovoid or droplet-shaped, with a diameter of 55–80 nm and a length of 75–130 nm. The genome is a circular dsDNA molecule of around 14–20 kbp. The droplet-shaped morphology is unprecedented among viruses of bacteria and eukaryotes and represents a group of archaea-specific virion morphotypes. The family includes two genera, Alphaguttavirus and Betaguttavirus, each with a single species. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of Guttaviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/guttaviridae., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/jgv.0.001027
