Phaeoviral infections are present in macrocystis, ecklonia and undaria (laminariales) and are influenced by wave exposure in ectocarpales [PDF]
, 2018 Two sister orders of the brown macroalgae (class Phaeophyceae), the morphologically complex Laminariales (commonly referred to as kelp) and the morphologically simple Ectocarpales are natural hosts for the dsDNA phaeoviruses (family ) that persist as ...

Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms. [PDF]
, 2012 Based on Darwin's concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions, and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms.

Discovery of Viral Myosin Genes With Complex Evolutionary History Within Plankton
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect diverse eukaryotes and form a group of viruses with capsids encapsulating large genomes. Recent studies are increasingly revealing a spectacular array of functions encoded in their genomes, including ...

mRNA maturation in giant viruses: variation on a theme [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceGiant viruses from the Mimiviridae family replicate entirely in their host cytoplasm where their genes are transcribed by a viral transcription apparatus. mRNA polyadenylation uniquely occurs at hairpin-forming palindromic sequences

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

A novel evolutionary strategy revealed in the Phaeoviruses [PDF]
, 2014 Phaeoviruses infect the brown algae, which are major contributors to primary production of coastal waters and estuaries. They exploit a Persistent evolutionary strategy akin to a K- selected life strategy via genome integration and are the only known ...
