Gene and Genome Duplication in Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2005 ABSTRACT Gene duplication is key to molecular evolution in all three domains of life and may be the first step in the emergence of new gene function. It is a well-recognized feature in large DNA viruses but has not been studied extensively in the largest known virus to date, the recently discovered Acanthamoeba ...

Pan-Genome Analysis of Brazilian Lineage A Amoebal Mimiviruses
Viruses, 2015 Since the recent discovery of Samba virus, the first representative of the family Mimiviridae from Brazil, prospecting for mimiviruses has been conducted in different environmental conditions in Brazil. Recently, we isolated using Acanthamoeba sp.

Amoebal pathogens as emerging causal agents of pneumonia [PDF]
, 2017 Despite using modern microbiological diagnostic approaches, the aetiological agents of pneumonia remain unidentified in about 50% of cases. Some bacteria that grow poorly or not at all in axenic media used in routine clinical bacteriology laboratory but ...

Viruses, 2019 The detailed mechanisms of replication initiation, termination and segregation events were not yet known in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV). Here, we show detailed bioinformatics-based analyses of chromosomal replication in APMV from initiation ...

Distribution of SNSs in Mimivirus Genomes and the Classification of Mimiviruses Isolated from Japan
Microbes and Environments, 2019 Mimiviruses have been detected in various habitats. Analyses of single nucleotide substitutions (SNSs) have revealed that SNSs are mainly localized on both ends of the mimivirus genome, and mimivirus lineage A has been split into three genotype groups ...

LAMARCKIAN EVOLUTION OF THE GIANT MIMIVIRUS IN ALLOPATRIC LABORATORY CULTURE ON AMOEBAE
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012 Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus has been subcultured 150 times on germ-free amoebae. This allopatric niche is very different from that found in the natural environment, where the virus is in competition with many other organisms.

The rare sugar N-acetylated viosamine is a major component of Mimivirus fibers
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017 The giant virus Mimivirus encodes an autonomous glycosylation system that is thought to be responsible for the formation of complex and unusual glycans composing the fibers surrounding its icosahedral capsid, including the dideoxyhexose viosamine ...
