Filamentous bacteriophages are a family of viruses (Inoviridae) that infect bacteria, or bacteriophages.

Members of the family Inoviridae have virions with non-enveloped flexible filaments (600−2,500 × 6−10 nm) with supercoiled, circular, positive-sense single-stranded DNA [ (+) ssDNA] genomes of about 5.5−10.6 kb, encoding 7−15 proteins (Table 1. Inoviridae).

Members of the family Inoviridae are non-enveloped flexible filamentous bacteriophages (600-2500×6-10 nm) with supercoiled, circular, positive-sense, single-stranded DNA genomes of 5.5-10.6 kb, encoding 7-15 proteins.

Members of the family Inoviridae are non-enveloped flexible filamentous bacteriophages (600–2500×6–10 nm) with supercoiled, circular, positive-sense, single-stranded DNA genomes of 5.5–10.6 kb, encoding 7–15 proteins. They absorb to the pili of ...

Bacteriophages from the Inoviridae family (inoviruses) are characterized by their unique morphology, genome content and infection cycle. One of the most striking features of inoviruses is their ability to establish a chronic infection whereby the ...

Inoviridae is a family of bacteriophage viruses (infect bacteria) that contain a circular single stranded DNA molecule wrapped by several hundreds to thousands of coat protein subunits.

Dec 21, 2022 · Here, we isolated and characterized the biological characteristics and genome sequence of a novel inovirus infecting Alteromonas abrolhosensis, designated ϕAFP1, representing a novel viral genus of Inoviridae.

Members of the family Inoviridae mobilize DNA in the microbial world, and thus play a role in the evolution of microorganisms. They do not lyse their hosts, so that progeny cells remain infected, whether in a virulent productive state or in a latent prophage state.

Jan 1, 2012 · Members of the family Inoviridae mobilize DNA in the microbial world, and thus play a role in the evolution of microorganisms. They do not lyse their hosts, so that progeny cells remain infected, whether in a virulent productive state or in a latent prophage state.

The major genomic differentiation and competitive success of ST36 were associated with a striking succession of filamentous prophage in the family Inoviridae (inoviruses), including loss of an inovirus prophage that had been maintained for …
