Daily Reports on Phage-Host Interactions
Understanding phage-host relationships is crucial for the study of virus biology and the application of phages in biotechnology and medicine. However, information concerning the range of hosts for bacterial and archaeal viruses is scattered across ...

Morphotypes of virus-like particles in two hydrothermal vent fields on the East Scotia Ridge, Antarctica [PDF]
Viruses from extreme environments are still largely unexplored and may harbor unseen genetic potential. Here, we present a first glance at the morphological diversity of virus like particles (VLPs) from an environment that is extreme in more than one ...

Biochemical and Phylogenetic Characterization of the dUTPase from the Archaeal Virus SIRV [PDF]
The derived amino acid sequence from a 474-base pair open reading frame in the genome of the Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus SIRV shows striking similarity to bacterial dCTP deaminases and to dUTPases from eukaryotes, bacteria, Poxviridae, and Retroviridae.

His1, an Archaeal Virus of theFuselloviridae Family That Infects Haloarcula hispanica [PDF]
ABSTRACT A novel archaeal virus, His1, was isolated from hypersaline waters in southeastern Australia. It was lytic, grew only on Haloarcula hispanica (titers of up to 1011 PFU/ml), and displayed a lemon-shaped morphology (74 by 44 nm) previously reported only for a virus of the extreme thermophiles (SSV1).

Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses of Himalayan Hot Springs at Manikaran Modulate Host Genomes
Hot spring-associated viruses, particularly the archaeal viruses, remain under-examined compared to bacteriophages. Previous metagenomic studies of the Manikaran hot springs in India suggested an abundance of viral DNA, which prompted us to examine the ...

Structure and assembly of archaeal viruses
International audienceViruses of archaea represent one of the most enigmatic parts of the virosphere. Most of the characterized archaeal viruses infect extremophilic hosts and display remarkable diversity of virion morphotypes, many of which have never ...

Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Proteomics of SSV1 and Related Fusellovirus: A Minireview
Saccharolobus spindle-shaped virus 1 (SSV1) was one of the first viruses identified in the archaeal kingdom. Originally isolated from a Japanese species of Saccharolobus back in 1984, it has been extensively used as a model system for genomic ...
