Structure
Viruses in Rhizidiovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral, round, and isometric geometries. The diameter is around 60 nm.[2]
The genome is non segmented, linear double stranded DNA (dsDNA) and ~25.5 kilobases in length. It encodes at least 14 protein with molecular weights between 84.5 and 26 kilodaltons.[1]
