Family of viruses
Bacilladnaviridae
is a family of
single-stranded DNA viruses
that primarily infect
diatoms
.

Characteristics
[
edit
]
Similar to other eukaryotic ssDNA viruses, bacilladnaviruses are likely to replicate their genomes by the rolling-circle mechanism, initiated by the virus-encoded endonuclease (Rep). However, the latter protein of bacilladnaviruses displays unique conserved motifs and in phylogenetic trees forms a monophyletic clade separated from other groups of ssDNA viruses. The capsid protein of bacilladnaviruses has the
jelly-roll fold
and is most closely related to the corresponding proteins from members of the family
Nodaviridae
, which have ssRNA genomes.
