Mimivirus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) particle,commonly known as the mimivirus. This virus consists of outer hairs,or fibrils (spikes),and a protein capsid (dark grey ring) enclosing a core (centre) 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: x100 | |
