Figure 3

Cedratvirus getuliensis morphogenesis involves the occurrence of subsequent complex structures. (A) First discernible viral structures showing a crescent-shaped capsid precursor. (B) Longitudinal sections revealed the longitudinal-elongation of the particle and capsids assuming a staple-shaped conformation. (C) Transversal sections showed empty capsids with a horseshoe conformation. (D) Longitudinal sections showed staple-shaped with the first cork evident (red arrow). The particle may be an open cylinder at this moment, since transversal-sectioned particles appears as rectangles (F) and transversal-sectioned particles still reveals horseshoe-like structures (E). Progressive filling of the capsid (G,H). (J) Complete closure of the capsids.
