Molecular biology of giant viruses' DNA replication machinery [PDF]
, 2013 Viruses are the most widespread and abundant entity on this planet, further constituting the largest part of the genosphere. The majority of these infectious agents are miniature, having been described as being smaller than the smallest bacteria.

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1265-1283, November 2022., 2022 As the past is the key to the future, to understand community transformations and ecological interactions, we reconstructed ecosystem‐wide biotic composition (from viruses to megaherbivores) between glacials and interglacials from the Middle and Late Pleistocene at the Batagay megaslump, east Siberia.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 This study proposes to use porous candles as a new tool for collecting soil water viruses. In the first step, the passage of model viruses through the ceramic part of the candles was investigated. Regarding the field application, the experiments carried out showed a successful recovery of viruses, demonstrating the relevance and efficiency of such a ...

Megaviruses contain various genes encoding for eukaryotic vesicle trafficking factors
Traffic, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 414-425, August 2022., 2022 Giant viruses enter their eukaryotic host cells by phagocytosis. For reproduction, they hijack the host cell's membranes by an unknown mechanism. Here, we found that giant viruses express several core factors of the eukaryotic vesicle fusion machinery, including SNARE, Rab, SM proteins, and the disassembly protein NSF.

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 179-194, February 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Collectively known as phytoplankton, photosynthetic microbes form the base of the marine food web, and account for up to half of the primary production on Earth. Haptophytes are key components of this phytoplankton community, playing important roles both as primary producers and as mixotrophs that graze on bacteria and protists.

Microscopic Characterization of the Brazilian Giant Samba Virus
Viruses, 2017 Prior to the discovery of the mimivirus in 2003, viruses were thought to be physically small and genetically simple. Mimivirus, with its ~750-nm particle size and its ~1.2-Mbp genome, shattered these notions and changed what it meant to be a virus. Since

Exposure to Mimivirus collagen promotes arthritis [PDF]
, 2014 Collagens, the most abundant proteins in animals, also occur in some recently described nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses such as Mimiviridae, which replicate in amoebae.

Pulmonary Infection Related to Mimivirus in Patient with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that causes oto-sino-pulmonary disease. We report a case of pulmonary infection related to mimivirus in a 10-year-old boy with primary ciliary dyskinesia that was identified using ...

O-Linked glycosylation in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus [PDF]
, 2014 Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is a member of the giant nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, infecting various Acanthamoeba spp. The genomes of giant viruses encode components previously thought to be exclusive to cellular life, such as proteins ...
