Finnlakeviridae is a family of bacterial viruses that is the sole representative of its own class, Ainoaviricetes (from "ainoa", the Finnish word for "single" + -viricetes). The family contains a single genus, Finnlakevirus, which contains a single species, Flavobacterium virus FLiP. [1] [2] This virus was isolated in 2010, with its gram-negative host Flavobacterium , from Lake Jyväsjärvi, a boreal freshwater habitat in Central Finland, and is the first described single-stranded DNA virus with an internal membrane. [2]
The genome is circular single-stranded DNA of about 9200 nucleotides in length. [2]
