Diversity of Surface Fibril Patterns in Mimivirus Isolates
2 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Mimivirus fibrils are intriguing structures that have drawn attention since their discovery. Although still under investigation, the function of fibrils may be related to host cell adhesion. In this work, we isolated and characterized a new mimivirus, called Megavirus caiporensis, and we showed that mimivirus isolates can exhibit at least three different patterns related to fibril organization and abundance.
