Targeted metagenomic recovery of four divergent viruses reveals shared and distinctive characteristics of giant viruses of marine eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2019 Giant viruses have remarkable genomic repertoires—blurring the line with cellular life—and act as top–down controls of eukaryotic plankton. However, to date only six cultured giant virus genomes are available from the pelagic ocean.

The Poxviral RING Protein p28 Is a Ubiquitin Ligase That Targets Ubiquitin to Viral Replication Factories [PDF]
, 2005 We conducted an exhaustive search for three-dimensional structural homologs to the proteins of 20 key phylogenetically distinct nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses (NCLDV). Structural matches covered 429 known protein domain superfamilies, with the most highly

Virus-host relationships of marine single-celled eukaryotes resolved from metatranscriptomics [PDF]
, 2017 Establishing virus–host relationships has historically relied on culture-dependent approaches. Here we report on the use of marine metatranscriptomics to probe virus–host relationships.

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 ...

O-Linked glycosylation in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus [PDF]
, 2017 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 ...

Continuous year-round isolation of giant viruses from brackish shoreline soils
Frontiers in MicrobiologyGiant viruses, categorized under Nucleocytoviricota, are believed to exist ubiquitously in natural environments. However, comprehensive reports on isolated giant viruses remain scarce, with limited information available on unrecoverable strains, viral ...
