The Tectiviridae is a family of double stranded DNA viruses that infect bacteria and archea. Tectiviridae have no head-tail structure, but are capable of producing tail-like tubes of ~ 60 x 10 nm upon adsorption or after chloroform treatment. The name is derived from Latin tectus (meaning 'covered').
There is a single genus in this family - genus Tectivirus.
The type species is Enterobacteria phage PRD1.
Virology
This family of viruses consist of virons with double layers capsids that have apical spikes extending ~20 nanometers (nm) and an unusual internal lipid envelope around the nucleoprotein.
The capsid is nonenveloped and has a diameter of 63 nm icosahedron structure. The capsid shells are composed of two layers - an inner and outer capsid.
The inner capsid shell consist of a 5-6 nm flexible shell made from a lipoprotein vesicle whereas the outer capsid is made up of a smooth, rigid 3 nm thin protein shell. The outer shell has a pseudo T = 25 symmetry and consists of 240 capsid proteins trimers.
The genome is a single molecule of linear double stranded DNA of 15 kilobases in length. It forms a tightly packed coil and encodes several structural proteins. It encodes ~30 proteins that are transcribed in operons.
At least 9 structural proteins are present in the viron.
The genome is ~66 megaDaltons in weigh and constitutes 14-15% of the virion by weight. Lipids constitute a further 15% by weight. CarbohydratLife cycle
After adsorbion to the host's cells surface the viron extruds a tail-tube structure through a vertex for genome delivery into the host.
Capsid proteins polymerize around a lipoprotein vesicle translocated in the cytoplasm by virion assembly factors.
Mature virons are released by lysis.es are not present.

I never thought I will ever be cure from my Herpes again, I was diagnosed with Genital Herpes since last year July, Until one day I go on a research on the Internet where I saw someone given testimony on how Dr Ogala help him cure his herpes with his natural herbal medicine, i was so surprised when i saw the testimony, and I have to also contact the herbal doctor (Ogala) for help, He sent me his remedy and i was cured completely within 2 weeks of taking the remedy. I am so grateful to this man as he has restored my health and made me a happy person again. Anyone out there who might be facing the same problem or any sexual transmitted disease should kindly contact Dr Ogala on Email: ogalasolutiontemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp +2349123794867
