About this document
Leviviridae and Enterobacteria Phages by Frances Ijeoma Obiakor is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes and compares two families of single-stranded RNA bacteriophages: Leviviridae and Microviridae. Both are small, naked, and icosahedral, but Leviviridae have positive-sense RNA genomes while Microviridae have positive-sense single-stranded DNA genomes. The lifecycles and genome replication processes of both families are lytic. Key viral proteins and their roles are also outlined.
