👉 "OuMV" is a term used in the field of microbiology, specifically in the study of viruses. It stands for "Oxidative Membrane Virus", which describes a type of virus that encodes proteins to form a membrane that protects the viral genome from degradation and allows it to infect cells. This process involves the use of oxygen as a substrate for the production of viral proteins, leading to the formation of an oxidized membrane structure.
