Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Cyanophage Encoding Multiple Auxiliary Metabolic Genes [PDF]

Viruses, 2022
As significant drivers of cyanobacteria mortality, cyanophages have been known to regulate the population dynamics, metabolic activities, and community structure of this most important marine autotrophic picoplankton and, therefore, influence the global ...

Prokaryotic-virus-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes throughout the global oceans [PDF]

Microbiome
Background Prokaryotic microbes have impacted marine biogeochemical cycles for billions of years. Viruses also impact these cycles, through lysis, horizontal gene transfer, and encoding and expressing genes that contribute to metabolic reprogramming of ...

Cyanophage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes in modulating cyanobacterial metabolism and algal bloom dynamics

Frontiers in Virology
Cyanophages play a pivotal role in controlling cyanobacterial populations in aquatic environments. These dsDNA viruses harbor auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that modulate the key metabolic processes of their cyanobacterial hosts, such as Photosynthesis,

DNA viral community enhances microbial carbon fixation capacity via auxiliary metabolic genes in contaminated soils [PDF]

Nature Communications
Soil is the largest organic matter repository on land and the virosphere is an essential component of soil carbon cycling. While a few carbon-related auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) in viruses are reported to potentially influence the hosts, the effects

Genomes from Uncultivated Pelagiphages Reveal Multiple Phylogenetic Clades Exhibiting Extensive Auxiliary Metabolic Genes and Cross-Family Multigene Transfers. [PDF]

mSystems, 2022
One of the most abundant and diverse marine bacterial groups is Pelagibacter . Phages have roles in shaping Pelagibacter ecology; however, several Pelagiphage lineages are represented by only a few genomes.

Adaptive expression of phage auxiliary metabolic genes in paddy soils and their contribution toward global carbon sequestration. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Habitats with intermittent flooding, such as paddy soils, are crucial reservoirs in the global carbon pool; however, the effect of phage–host interactions on the biogeochemical cycling of carbon in paddy soils remains unclear. Hence, this study applied multiomics and global datasets integrated with validation experiments to investigate ...

Structural characterization of a soil viral auxiliary metabolic gene product – a functional chitosanase

Nature Communications, 2022
Metagenomics is revealing auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) in soil viral genomes. Here, authors solve the crystal structure for a soil viral AMG product, free and ligand bound, and show the protein can decompose chitin, a common carbon polymer.
