Aeropyrum pernix ovoid virus 1 (APOV1) is distinguished from Sulfolobus newzealandicus droplet-shaped virus (SNDV) on the basis of morphological details, namely the lack of filaments at one end of the virion, and a larger genomic DNA.
See discussion under family description.
APOV1 virions have one major capsid protein of ~10.5 kDa and at least 2 minor capsid proteins (Mochizuki 2012).
See description under family description.
Aeropyrum pernix ovoid virus 1 was isolated from Aeropyrum pernix strain K1, which was discovered in a coastal solfataric vent at Kodakara-Jima Island, Japan. The virus is temperate and lysogenizes its host by integrating into the chromosome by recombining with the 3ʹ-distal region of the tRNA-Leu gene (Mochizuki et al., 2011).
