Influence of climate on soil viral communities in Australia on a regional scale
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2024.Abstract Viruses play a crucial role in regulating microbial communities and ecosystem functioning. However, the biogeographic patterns of viruses and their responses to climate factors remain underexplored. In this study, we performed viral size fraction metagenomes on 108 samples collected along a 2600 km transect across Australia, encompassing ...

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 ...

Comparative genomic analysis of the ‘pseudofungus’ Hyphochytrium catenoides [PDF]
, 2018 Eukaryotic microbes have three primary mechanisms for obtaining nutrients and energy: phagotrophy, photosynthesis and osmotrophy. Traits associated with the latter two functions arose independently multiple times in the eukaryotes. The Fungi successfully
