Ecogenomics reveals viral communities across the Challenger Deep oceanic trench
Communications Biology, 2022 Analysis of 13 sediment cores from the Challenger Deep of Marian Trench (down to 11 kilometers depth) identified distinct operational taxonomic units and relevant auxiliary metabolic genes, providing further insight into deep-sea viral metabolic ...

Auxiliary Metabolic Gene Functions in Pelagic and Benthic Viruses of the Baltic Sea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Marine microbial communities are facing various ecosystem fluctuations (e.g., temperature, organic matter concentration, salinity, or redox regimes) and thus have to be highly adaptive. This might be supported by the acquisition of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) originating from virus infections.

Ecology of inorganic sulfur auxiliary metabolism in widespread bacteriophages
Nature Communications, 2021 Some bacteriophage encode auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that impact host metabolism and biogeochemical cycling during infection. Here the authors identify hundreds of AMGs in environmental phage encoding sulfur oxidation genes and use their global ...

Comparative metagenomic analyses reveal viral-induced shifts of host metabolism towards nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Viral genomes often contain metabolic genes that were acquired from host genomes (auxiliary genes). It is assumed that these genes are fixed in viral genomes as a result of a selective force, favoring viruses that acquire specific metabolic ...

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]
, 2019 Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

Expanding standards in viromics: in silico evaluation of dsDNA viral genome identification, classification, and auxiliary metabolic gene curation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Viruses influence global patterns of microbial diversity and nutrient cycles. Though viral metagenomics (viromics), specifically targeting dsDNA viruses, has been critical for revealing viral roles across diverse ecosystems, its analyses differ in many ways from those used for microbes.
