Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Metatranscriptomic analysis of Centaurea cyanus revealed diverse plant‐associated viral and bacterial sequences in herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant biotypes. While novel partitiviruses occurred independently of resistance status, differences in bacterial community composition may suggest a potential role of the plant microbiome in responses to ...

Mimivirus Circulation among Wild and Domestic Mammals, Amazon Region, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To investigate circulation of mimiviruses in the Amazon Region of Brazil, we surveyed 513 serum samples from domestic and wild mammals. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 15 sample pools, and mimivirus DNA was detected in 9 pools of serum from ...

Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 206-211, September 2025.Abstract In this short and popular review, we summarise some of our findings analysing the replication cycles of large DNA viruses using scanning transmission electron tomography (STEM tomography) that we applied in the laboratory of Paul Walther. It is also a tribute to a very kind and expert scientist, who recently retired.

Amoebae, Giant Viruses, and Virophages Make Up a Complex, Multilayered Threesome
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Viral infection had not been observed for amoebae, until the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered in 2003. APMV belongs to the nucleocytoplasmatic large DNA virus (NCLDV) family and infects not only A.

Advances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is Kenya’s second most important agricultural product after maize, serving as a vital source of protein for many rural families in Western Kenya. However, viral diseases caused by RNA and DNA viruses greatly impair bean productivity, often leading to yield losses of up to 100%, thus contributing to food insecurity ...

Diversity and structural‐functional insights of alpha‐solenoid proteins
Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract Alpha‐solenoids are a significant and diverse subset of structured tandem repeat proteins (STRPs) that are important in various domains of life. This review examines their structural and functional diversity and highlights their role in critical cellular processes such as signaling, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation.

Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus stability in environmental and clinical substrates: implications for virus detection and isolation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Viruses are extremely diverse and abundant and are present in countless environments. Giant viruses of the Megavirales order have emerged as a fascinating research topic for virologists around the world.

Exploring ORFan domains in giant viruses: structure of mimivirus sulfhydryl oxidase R596.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The mimivirus genome contains many genes that lack homologs in the sequence database and are thus known as ORFans. In addition, mimivirus genes that encode proteins belonging to known fold families are in some cases fused to domain-sized segments that ...
