Phycodnaviridae
Phycodnaviruses are species-specific and will differentiate among strains and subspecies of algae by an unknown mechanism (Mueller et al., 1996;

Publisher Summary
This chapter focuses on the Phycodnaviridae family whose member genuses include Chlorovirus, Coccolithovirus, Prasinovirus, and Prymnesiovirus. The virions of the family contain large dsDNA genomes, ranging from 100 to 560 kbp and the genomic DNA in many of the viruses contains methylated bases, both 5-methylcytosine (m5C) and N6-methyladenine (m6A). The chlorovirusPBCV-1 virion contains 5–10% lipid, which is situated in a bilayer membrane located inside the glycoprotein shell and is required for virus infectivity. The coccolithovirus EhV-86 has an external lipid membrane and may also have an internal membrane. The phycodnaviruses, depending on whether they infect freshwater algaeor marine algae, are ubiquitous in freshwater or seawater collected throughout the world.
