Mimivirus: leading the way in the discovery of giant viruses of amoebae
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2017 The accidental discovery of the giant virus of amoeba — Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV; more commonly known as mimivirus) — in 2003 changed the field of virology.

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.

Characterizing gas flow from aerosol particle injectors
, 2017 A novel methodology for measuring gas flow from small orifices or nozzles into vacuum is presented. It utilizes a high-intensity femtosecond laser pulse to create a plasma within the gas plume produced by the nozzle, which is imaged by a microscope ...

The high‐resolution structure of a UDP‐L‐rhamnose synthase from Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus
Protein Science, 2020 For the field of virology, perhaps one of the most paradigm‐shifting events so far in the 21st century was the identification of the giant double‐stranded DNA virus that infects amoebae.

A Mimivirus Enzyme that Participates in Viral Entry [PDF]
Structure, 2015 Mimivirus was initially identified as a bacterium because its dense, 125-nm-long fibers stained Gram-positively. These fibers probably play a role during the infection of some host cells. The normal hosts of Mimivirus are unknown, but in the laboratory Mimivirus is usually propagated in amoeba.

Diversity of Amoeba-Associated Giant Viruses Isolated in Algeria
Diversity, 2020 The discovery of several giant amoeba viruses has opened up a novel area in the field of virology. Despite this, knowledge about ecology of these viruses remains patchy. In this study, we aimed to characterize the diversity of giant viruses in Algeria by

ElaD, a Deubiquitinating Protease Expressed by E. Coli [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubl) are designed to modify polypeptides in eukaryotes. Covalent binding of ubiquitin or Ubls to substrate proteins can be reversed by specific hydrolases.
