Viruses in the sediments around the trenches harbor diverse survival mechanisms

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Deep‐sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin.

ORF157 from the Archaeal VirusAcidianusFilamentous Virus 1 Defines a New Class of Nuclease [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2010
ABSTRACTAcidianusfilamentous virus 1 (AFV1) (Lipothrixviridae) is an enveloped filamentous virus that was characterized from a crenarchaeal host. It infectsAcidianusspecies that thrive in the acidic hot springs (>85°C and pH <3) of Yellowstone National Park, WY. The AFV1 20.8-kb, linear, double-stranded DNA genome encodes 40 putative open reading

A protein chaperone can stabilize the intein‐containing precursor to indirectly promote protein splicing

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Intervening proteins (inteins) interrupt host protein sequences and are removed by a self‐mediated protein splicing reaction. Inteins are abundant in the microbial world and are often found within essential genes involved in DNA replication, recombination, and repair.

Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern

Viruses, 2015
Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first

Host-Dependent Differences in Replication Strategy of the Sulfolobus Spindle-Shaped Virus Strain SSV9 (a.k.a., SSVK1): Infection Profiles in Hosts of the Family Sulfolobaceae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The Sulfolobus Spindle-shaped Virus (SSV) system has become a model for studying thermophilic virus biology, including archaeal host-virus interactions and biogeography. Several factors make the SSV system amenable to studying archaeal genetic mechanisms

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.

Atmospheric Microbial Transport to Antarctica and Its Ecological Implications: A Systematic Review

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Atmospheric transport to Antarctica operates via long‐range advection, marine aerosolization, and local resuspension, acting as a strict ecological filter. This selective barrier could actively shape local ecosystems by seeding them with functionally distinct, stress‐adapted microbial pioneers capable of surviving extreme conditions.

System analysis of synonymous codon usage biases in archaeal virus genomes

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2014
Recent studies of geothermally heated aquatic ecosystems have found widely divergent viruses with unusual morphotypes. Archaeal viruses isolated from these hot habitats usually have double-stranded DNA genomes, linear or circular, and can infect members of the Archaea domain.

A Pan‐European Whole‐Microbiome Study of Wastewater Influent: Prokaryotes, Protists, Fungi, and Metazoa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial communities entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) through untreated sewage represent an important interface between human, environmental, and treatment‐associated microbiomes, yet our understanding of their biogeography remains poorly resolved, particularly for microbial eukaryotes.

Functional Specialization of Clathrin‐Independent Endocytic Routes: Mechanisms and Cellular Roles

Traffic, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
Distinct clathrin‐independent endocytic (CIE) routes support specialized cellular functions across different contexts. Created with Biorender.com. ABSTRACT Clathrin‐independent endocytosis (CIE) comprises a diverse repertoire of internalization mechanisms that operate in parallel with clathrin‐mediated endocytosis.
