Members of the Mimiviridae family are large DNA viruses that infect Acanthamoeba cells. Here, we report the genome sequences of two new Mimiviridae family members, isolated from water samples from Shirakoma Pond and the mouth of the Arakawa River in Japan, with nearly complete genome sizes of 1,182,849 and 1,182,801 bp, respectively.
米米病毒科的成员是感染棘阿米巴细胞的大型DNA病毒。在此,我们报告了从日本白驹池和荒川河口的水样中分离出的两个米米病毒科新成员的基因组序列,其基因组大小几乎完整,分别为1,182,849和1,182,801碱基对。
