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 ...

Tailed giant Tupanvirus possesses the most complete translational apparatus of the known virosphere
Nature Communications, 2018 Giant viruses are the largest viruses of the known virosphere and their genetic analysis can provide insights into virus evolution. Here, the authors discover Tupanvirus, a unique giant virus that has an unusually long tail and contains the largest ...

A Brazilian Marseillevirus Is the Founding Member of a Lineage in Family Marseilleviridae
Viruses, 2016 In 2003, Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered as parasitizing Acanthamoeba. It was revealed to exhibit remarkable features, especially odd genomic characteristics, and founded viral family Mimiviridae.

The “Giant Virus Finder” discovers an abundance of giant viruses in the Antarctic dry valleys [PDF]
Archives of Virology, 2015 The first giant virus was identified in 2003 from a biofilm of an industrial water-cooling tower in England. Later, numerous new giant viruses were found in oceans and freshwater habitats, some of them having even 2,500 genes. We have demonstrated their very likely presence in four soil samples taken from the Kutch Desert (Gujarat, India).

New Brazilian giant viruses isolation from environmental samples using a panel of protozoa.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The Megavirales are a newly described order capable of infecting different types of eukaryotic hosts. For the most part, the natural host is unknown.

How Tupanvirus Degrades the Ribosomal RNA of Its Amoebal Host? The Ribonuclease T2 Track
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Tupanviruses are giant viruses recently discovered in Brazil from extreme environments: Tupanvirus soda lake (TPV-SL) and Tupanvirus deep ocean (TPV-DO).

Respiratory syncytial virus: a sleeping giant? [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2007 The study by Jansen et al. 1 in the present issue of the European Respiratory Journal focuses on the impact of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on mortality and hospital admissions. As in many other similar publications, it emphasises the significance of RSV (and influenza) in all age groups and not just children, in whom the impact is ...

Hidden diversity of soil giant viruses
Nature Communications, 2018 Current knowledge of giant virus diversity is largely based on samples from aquatic environments. Here the authors employ cultivation-independent metagenomics and mini-metagenomics on forest soil and identify 16 novel giant virus genomes, some of which ...
