Characterization of Four Novel dsRNA Viruses Isolated from <i>Mucor</i> <i>hiemalis</i> Strains

We previously screened the total nucleic acid extracts of 123 <i>Mucor</i> strains for the presence of dsRNA molecules without further molecular analyses. Here, we characterized five novel dsRNA genomes isolated from four different <i>Mucor</i> <i>hiemalis</i> str...

Characterization of Four Novel dsRNA Viruses Isolated from <i>Mucor</i> <i>hiemalis</i> Strains
description We previously screened the total nucleic acid extracts of 123 <i>Mucor</i> strains for the presence of dsRNA molecules without further molecular analyses. Here, we characterized five novel dsRNA genomes isolated from four different <i>Mucor</i> <i>hiemalis</i> strains with next-generation sequencing (NGS), namely Mucor hiemalis virus 1a (MhV1a) from WRL CN(M) 122; Mucor hiemalis virus 1b (MhV1b) from NRRL 3624; Mucor hiemalis virus 2 (MhV2) from NRRL 3616; and Mucor hiemalis virus 3 (MhV3) and Mucor hiemalis virus (MhV4) from NRRL 3617 strains. Genomes contain two open reading frames (ORF), which encode the coat protein (CP) and the RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), respectively. In MhV1a and MhV1b, it is predicted to be translated as a fusion protein via -1 ribosomal frameshift, while in MhV4 via a rare +1 (or−2) ribosomal frameshift.
