Cystoviridae is a family of bacteriophages known for their unique structure and the ability to infect bacteria, particularly those of the genus Pseudomonas. These viruses are characterized by their double-stranded RNA genomes and a complex capsid, which provides protection to their genetic material. The study of Cystoviridae contributes to our understanding of viral diversity, mechanisms of infection, and the potential for biotechnological applications.
congrats on reading the definition of Cystoviridae. now let's actually learn it.
