Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study illustrates the impact of viruses on carbon cycling in soils with different availabilities of carbon. In conditions of low carbon availability, viruses adopt a lysogenic lifestyle, integrate into the host genomes and facilitate the degradation of carbon.

Viruses under the Antarctic Ice Shelf are active and potentially involved in global nutrient cycles
Nature Communications, 2023 Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains limited.

Viral system algorithm: foundations and comparison between selective and massive infections [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents a guided and deep introduction to Viral Systems (VS), a novel bio-inspired methodology based on a natural biological process taking part when the organism has to give a response to an external infection.

Bacterial ‘Grounded’ Prophages: Hotspots for Genetic Renovation and Innovation
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Bacterial genomes are highly plastic allowing the generation of variants through mutations and acquisition of genetic information. The fittest variants are then selected by the econiche thereby allowing the bacterial adaptation and colonization of the ...

Introducing Lu-1, a Novel Lactobacillus jensenii Phage Abundant in the Urogenital Tract.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Bacteriophages (phages) play a key role in shaping microbial communities, including those of the human body. Phages are abundant members of the urogenital tract, most often persisting through the lysogenic life cycle as prophages integrated within the ...

Enhancing the performance of an in vitro RNA biosensor through iterative design of experiments
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.Abstract The quality control of RNA has become increasingly crucial with the rise of mRNA‐based vaccines and therapeutics. However, conventional methods such as LC–MS often require specialized equipment and expertise, limiting their applicability to high throughput experiments.

Viral systems : a new bio-inspired optimisation approach [PDF]
, 2008 The paper presents a new approach to deal with combinatorial problems. It makes use of a biological analogy inspired by the performance of viruses. The replication mechanism, as well as the hosts’ infection processes is used to generate a metaheuristic ...
