The Feldmannia sp. virus is a large icosahedral virus that persistently infects
marine brown alga Feldmannia sp.. So far, there is no information available about
viral genome replication, gene structure and gene expression in this unique viral-host
system. The purpose of this study was to characterize the general features of...
Viruses or viruslike particles of eukaryotic algae are ubiquitous in aquatic
habitats, however, suprisingly little is known about them. The research presented here
focused on one such virus which infects a multicellular filamentous brown alga of the
genus Feldmannia. Although preliminary studies had been performed on the genome
structure of...
