Amoebae, Giant Viruses, and Virophages Make Up a Complex, Multilayered Threesome
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Viral infection had not been observed for amoebae, until the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered in 2003. APMV belongs to the nucleocytoplasmatic large DNA virus (NCLDV) family and infects not only A.

Protein repeats evolve and emerge in giant viruses [PDF]
, 2023 Nucleocytoplasmatic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs or giant viruses) stand out because of their relatively large genomes encoding hundreds of proteins. These species give us an unprecedented opportunity to study the emergence and evolution of repeats in ...

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 281-293, September 2025.Abstract Background It has been reported that bacteria and fungi play a vital role in soil biogeochemical cycles during the decomposition of animal corpses. However, it is poorly understood how the viral composition and function of grassland soil change during the decay of wild mammal corpses.

Exploring Viral Diversity in a Unique South African Soil Habitat [PDF]
, 2018 The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve in the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa is known for its unique plant biodiversity. The potential presence of unique microbial and viral biodiversity associated with this unique plant biodiversity led us to explore the ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.We investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of the common duckweed Lemna minor. Through whole‐genome sequencing of 23 natural populations in Switzerland, we identified two genetic clusters, including a cryptic species, L. japonica. While L. minor showed a well‐defined population structure, L.

Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system [PDF]
, 2016 Viral communities are important for ecosystem function as they are involved in critical biogeochemical cycles and controlling host abundance. This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs.

The gut virome:the ‘missing link’ between gut bacteria and host immunity? [PDF]
, 2019 The human gut virome includes a diverse collection of viruses that infect our own cells as well as other commensal organisms, directly impacting on our well-being. Despite its predominance, the virome remains one of the least understood components of the
