Virions form hell

[PANGELETTI at bmg.bhs.uab.edu]

Hi, I was just thumbing through virological prayer book when I came 
accross another strange virus.  The Chlorella virus.  It has a 300 Kb 
dsDNA genome (Huge).  The thing is so big that it can be seen with a 
light microscope.  It infects unicellular algae.  I remember I saw a 
talk at the '91 ASV about it.  They showed slides of the virus blowing 
out the sides of the infected cell.  Just another example of the 
grandeur.
