A Functional K+ Channel from Tetraselmis Virus 1, a Member of the Mimiviridae [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 Potassium ion (K+) channels have been observed in diverse viruses that infect eukaryotic marine and freshwater algae. However, experimental evidence for functional K+ channels among these alga-infecting viruses has thus far been restricted to members of ...

Pacmanvirus isolated from the Lost City hydrothermal field extends the concept of transpoviron beyond the family Mimiviridae. [PDF]
ISME JInternational audienceThe microbial sampling of submarine hydrothermal vents remains challenging, with even fewer studies focused on viruses. Here we report the first isolation of a eukaryotic virus from the Lost City hydrothermal field, by co-culture ...

Expanding the Mimiviridae family using asparagine synthase as a sequence bait
Virology, 2014 Since the pioneering Global Ocean Sampling project, large-scale sequencing of environmental DNA has become a common approach to assess the biodiversity of diverse environments, with an emphasis on microbial populations: unicellular eukaryotes (“protists”)

Metagenomic Analysis of Virus Diversity and Relative Abundance in a Eutrophic Freshwater Harbour
Viruses, 2019 Aquatic viruses have been extensively studied over the past decade, yet fundamental aspects of freshwater virus communities remain poorly described. Our goal was to characterize virus communities captured in the >0.22 µm size-fraction seasonally ...

Comparative genomics of Chrysochromulina Ericina Virus (CeV) and other microalgae-infecting large DNA viruses highlight their intricate evolutionary relationship with the established Mimiviridae family. [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2017 International audienceChrysochromulina Ericina Virus CeV-01B (CeV) was isolated from Norwegian coastal waters in 1998. Its icosahedral particle is 160 nm in diameter and encloses a 474-kb dsDNA genome.

Genomic comparison of closely related Giant Viruses supports an accordion-like model of evolution.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Genome gigantism occurs so far in Phycodnaviridae and Mimiviridae (order Megavirales). Origin and evolution of these Giant Viruses (GVs) remain open questions.
