“Quasigenus” amongPhycodnaviridae: A diversity of chlorophyte-infecting viruses in response to a dense algal culture in a high-rate algal pond

, 2023
This study approaches a high rate algal pond (HRAP) culture by metagenomic sequencing of the viral DNA fraction, this includes the so-called giant virus fraction (phylum Nucleocytoviricota), with the goal of revealing viruses coexisting within an ...

Diversity, Function and Activity of DNA Viruses in the Qiangyong Proglacial Lake Sediment, the Tibetan Plateau

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study identified DNA viruses from Qiangyong proglacial lake sediments on the Tibetan Plateau, revealing a highly diverse and previously uncharacterized viral community. These viruses influence microbial community structure and function by infecting key nutrient‐transforming taxa and encoding auxiliary metabolic genes that modulate host metabolism.

Near-atomic architecture of Singapore grouper iridovirus and implications for giant virus assembly

Nature Communications, 2023
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), one of the nucleocytoviricota viruses (NCVs), is a highly pathogenic iridovirid. SGIV infection results in massive economic losses to the aquaculture industry and significantly threatens global biodiversity. In recent

High‐throughput generic single‐entity sequencing using droplet microfluidics

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2025.
We present Generic Single Entity Sequencing (GSE‐Seq), a droplet‐based workflow that generates monoclonal barcodes by one‐step PCR, performs dissolvable hydrogel‐enabled reactions for genome processing, and attaches barcodes during in‐droplet library preparation. Barcoded fragments are pooled and sequenced with PacBio long‐read sequencing. Barcodes are

Time of day of infection shapes development of a eukaryotic algal-Nucleocytoviricota virocell

FEMS Microbiology Ecology
Abstract Aureococcus anophagefferens forms a model host-virus system with the “giant virus” Kratosvirus quantuckense. Studies to define its ribocell (uninfected) and virocell (virus-infected) forms are needed as these states co-occur during algal blooms.

Evolution of a major virion protein of the giant pandoraviruses from an inactivated bacterial glycoside hydrolase

, 2020
International audienceThe diverse viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota (also known as NLCDVs, Nucleo-cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses) typically possess large icosahedral virions.

Mapping the transcriptional landscape of algal resistance to viral infection reveals a core expression program

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1368-1384, November 2025.
Summary Algal blooms and their demise by viruses drive global‐scale ecological processes in the ocean. These blooms form the foundation of marine food webs, regulate microbial communities, and shape biogeochemical cycles. Although algal populations are constantly infected by viruses, resistant subpopulations frequently emerge after the infection.

The diel disconnect between cell growth and division in Aureococcus is interrupted by giant virus infection

Frontiers in Microbiology
Viruses of eukaryotic algae have become an important research focus due to their role(s) in nutrient cycling and top-down control of algal blooms.

Micropollutants and Their Interactions With Relevant Environmental Viruses

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Environmental micropollutants increase virus stability. ABSTRACT Emerging pollutants encompass a diverse array of chemicals classified as micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs). Viruses are known to adsorb onto MPs, including binding to bacterial biofilms that form the plastisphere.
