Quantitative conversion of biomass in giant DNA virus infection [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractBioconversion of organic materials is the foundation of many applications in chemical engineering, microbiology and biochemistry. Herein, we introduce a new methodology to quantitatively determine conversion of biomass in viral infections while simultaneously imaging morphological changes of the host cell.

Identification of giant Mimivirus protein functions using RNA interference
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Genomic analysis of giant viruses, such as Mimivirus, has revealed that more than half of the putative genes have no known functions (ORFans). We knocked down Mimivirus genes using short interfering RNA (siRNA) as a proof of concept to determine the ...
