peduovirinae peduovirinae peduovirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the order caudovirales, in the family myoviridae. bacteria serve as natural hosts. there are 76 species in this subfamily, assigned to 31 genera. peduovirinae virus classification (unranked): virus realm: duplodnaviria kingdom: heunggongvirae phylum: uroviricota class: caudoviricetes order: caudovirales family: myoviridae subfamily: peduovirinae genera see text taxonomy the following genera are recognized: aresaunavirus baylorvirus bielevirus canoevirus catalunyavirus citexvirus eganvirus entnonagintavirus felsduovirus hpunavirus irrigatiovirus irtavirus kisquattuordecimvirus kisquinquevirus longwoodvirus nampongvirus novemvirus peduovirus phitrevirus playavirus reginaelenavirus reipivirus senquatrovirus seongnamvirus simpcentumvirus stockinghallvirus tigrvirus vimunumvirus vulnificusvirus xuanwuvirus yongunavirus structure viruses in peduovirinae are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and head-tail geometries, and t=7 symmetry. the diameter is around 60 nm. genomes are linear, around 33kb in length. the genome codes for 45 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. the virus exits the host cell by lysis, and holin/endolysin/spanin proteins. bacteria serve as the natural host. transmission routes are passive diffusion.
