“…In order to address the taxonomic classification of this mycovirus, we aligned the full-length protein sequences of the RdRp and the hypothetical protein with those reported for representative members of the genera Alphapartitivirus, Betapartitivirus, Deltapartitivirus, Cryspovirus, and Gammapartitivirus [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. The resulting maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree, which was generated with both proteins by using the best-fit model of LG + G (with 1000 bootstrap replicates), further suggested that the mycovirus identified in strain T673 of T. harzianum belongs to the Partitiviridae family ( Figure 2 ) and supports the results of the BLASTp searches.…”
