Classification
Viruses; Varidnaviria; Bamfordvirae; Preplasmiviricota; Tectiliviricetes; Kalamavirales; Tectiviridae; Alphatectivirus; Alphatectivirus PRD1
Species
NCBI: [1]
Enterobacteria phage PRD1
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Viruses like Alphatectivirus PRD1 do not have their own metabolism and are non-living entities that are unable to generate ATP and translate it to form proteins. Instead, viruses rely on the metabolism of host cells to provide energy and metabolic substances for their life cycles.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
