Pithovirus sibericum, a new bona fide member of the Fourth TRUC club
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, or representatives of the proposed order Megavirales, include giant viruses of Acanthamoeba that were discovered over the last 12 years and are bona fide microbes.

A distinct lineage of giant viruses brings a rhodopsin photosystem to unicellular marine predators. [PDF]
, 2019 Giant viruses are remarkable for their large genomes, often rivaling those of small bacteria, and for having genes thought exclusive to cellular life.

Quantitative Assessment of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Virus and Host Interactions Predicted by Co-occurrence Analyses [PDF]
, 2021 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are highly diverse and abundant in marine environments. However, the knowledge of their hosts is limited because only a few NCLDVs have been isolated so far.

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.

A new marseillevirus isolated in Southern Brazil from Limnoperna fortunei [PDF]
, 2016 Members of the family Marseilleviridae are giant viruses that have the ability to infect amoebas. Such viruses were initially described in 2009. Since then, this family has grown, and diverse members have been found in different environments and ...

A billion years arms-race between viruses, virophages, and eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2023 Bamfordviruses are arguably the most diverse group of viruses infecting eukaryotes. They include the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), virophages, adenoviruses, Mavericks and Polinton-like viruses.

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.

Comparative genomic analysis of the ‘pseudofungus’ Hyphochytrium catenoides [PDF]
, 2018 Eukaryotic microbes have three primary mechanisms for obtaining nutrients and energy: phagotrophy, photosynthesis and osmotrophy. Traits associated with the latter two functions arose independently multiple times in the eukaryotes. The Fungi successfully

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 ...

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 ...
