Mimivirus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) particles. APMV is commonly known as the mimivirus. This virus consists of outer hairs,or fibrils (spikes),and a protein capsid (grey) enclosing a core (black) of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid),the virus' genetic material. APMV's classification as a pathogen is tentative,but it is now thought that it may cause viral pneumonia. Magnification: x50 | |
