Complete genome sequence of a new member of the Marseilleviridae recovered from the Brackish submarine spring in the Cassis Port-Miou Calanque, France

International audienceMarseilleviridae is a rapidly expanding family of Acanthamoeba-infecting large DNA viruses distributed worldwide. We report here the complete 349-kbp genome sequence of Port-Miou virus, which is surprisingly close to that of Lausannevirus (isolated from the Seine River upstream from Paris, France), despite the strong dissimilarities of their sampling locations
