Primary source [170] abstract: "Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV), isolated from a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park, was the first icosahedral virus with an archaeal host to be described. Here [investigators] present a detailed characterization of the components forming this unusual virus. Using a proteomics-based approach, [they] identified nine viral and two host proteins from purified STIV particles." Primary source [234] abstract: "[Investigators] report here the structure of a hyperthermophilic virus isolated from an archaeal host found in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park." |

P.625 right column 3rd paragraph: "STIV-like viruses: The overall virion organization of Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV) resembles that of bacterial tectiviruses and corticoviruses (Fig. 6). The STIV virion consists of an icosahedrally organized proteinaceous capsid that surrounds a protein-rich lipid membrane enclosing the circular dsDNA genome of 17.6 kb (primary sources)." |
