Isolation and sequencing of a novel inovirus, “Copypasta,” from Rhine River water
P. Nathael Javorčík, Alexander Harms
TL;DR
A new inovirus called Copypasta was discovered in the Rhine River and shown to infect E. coli with a unique DNA structure.
Contribution
The discovery of a novel inovirus with a fully sequenced genome and 12 protein-coding genes.
Findings
Copypasta is a filamentous inovirus with a circular single-stranded DNA genome of 6,408 nucleotides.
The virus contains 12 protein-coding genes and infects Escherichia coli.
It was isolated from Rhine River water and exhibits typical inovirus morphology.
Abstract
We present a new inovirus named Copypasta isolated from the Rhine River that infects Escherichia coli and shows the expected filamentous morphology. Copypasta has a circular single-stranded DNA genome that is 6,408 nt long and harbors 12 protein-coding genes.
