The “Neglected Viruses” of Taihu: Abundant Transcripts for Viruses Infecting Eukaryotes and Their Potential Role in Phytoplankton Succession

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Drivers of algal bloom dynamics remain poorly understood, but viruses have been implicated as important players. Research addressing bloom dynamics has generally been restricted to the virus-infection of the numerically dominant (i.e. bloom forming) taxa.

Protein-protein interactions leading to recruitment of the host DNA sliding clamp by the hyperthermophilic Sulfolobus islandicus rod- shaped virus 2 [PDF]

, 2014
Viruses infecting hyperthermophilic archaea typically do not encode DNA polymerases, raising questions regarding their genome replication. Here, using a yeast two-hybrid approach, we have assessed interactions between proteins of Sulfolobus islandicus ...

Coral-associated viral communities show high levels of diversity and host auxiliary functions [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Stony corals (Scleractinia) are marine invertebrates that form the foundation and framework upon which tropical reefs are built. The coral animal associates with a diverse microbiome comprised of dinoflagellate algae and other protists, bacteria, archaea,

Grazing on Marine Viruses and Its Biogeochemical Implications

mBio, 2023
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the ocean and show great diversity in terms of size, host specificity, and infection cycle. Lytic viruses induce host cell lysis to release their progeny and thereby redirect nutrients from higher to ...

Next generation sequencing for studying viruses and RNA silencing-based antiviral defense in crop plants [PDF]

, 2014
The main objectives of this work have been to use next generation sequencing (NGS) and develop bioinformatics tools for plant virus diagnostics and genome reconstruction as well as for investigation of RNA silencing-based antiviral defense.

Welcome to pandoraviruses at the 'Fourth TRUC’ club

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), or representatives of the proposed order Megavirales, belong to families of giant viruses that infect a broad range of eukaryotic hosts.

Informational Gene Phylogenies Do Not Support a Fourth Domain of Life for Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses [PDF]

Mimivirus is a nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) with a genome size (1.2 Mb) and coding capacity (> 1000 genes) comparable to that of some cellular organisms.

A billion years arms-race between viruses, virophages, and eukaryotes

eLife, 2023
Bamfordviruses are arguably the most diverse group of viruses infecting eukaryotes. They include the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), virophages, adenoviruses, Mavericks and Polinton-like viruses.

Identification of shared viral sequences in peat moss metagenomes reveals elements of a possible Sphagnum core virome

Environmental Microbiome
Background Viruses are an understudied component of plant microbiomes. Identifying viruses that are shared between individual plants, or members of the “core virome”, could reveal stable viral populations with the potential to modulate the composition ...

Virophages and Their Interactions with Giant Viruses and Host Cells

Proteomes, 2018
Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that were first isolated in association with some giant viruses (GVs), and then found in metagenomics samples. They encode about 20–34 proteins.
