Pandoraviruses: Amoeba Viruses with Genomes Up to 2.5 Mb Reaching That of Parasitic Eukaryotes [PDF]
International audienceTen years ago, the discovery of Mimivirus, a virus infecting Acanthamoeba, initiated a reappraisal of the upper limits of the viral world, both in terms of particle size (>0.7 micrometers) and genome complexity (>1000 genes ...

Large-scale genome sequencing reveals the driving forces of viruses in microalgal evolution
Being integral primary producers in diverse ecosystems, microalgal genomes could be mined for ecological insights, but representative genome sequences are lacking for many phyla.

[Giant viruses: update, enigmas, controversies and perspectives].
International audienceUnlike microbes known in his time, the first virus (that of tobacco mosaic disease) was discovered by Ivanoski in 1892 because it was not retained by Chamberland's porcelain candles.

Diversity and evolution of the emerging $Pandoraviridae$ family
International audienceWith DNA genomes reaching 2.5 Mb packed in particles of bacterium-like shape and dimension, the first two Acanthamoeba-infecting pandoraviruses remained up to now the most complex viruses since their discovery in 2013. Our isolation

Metavirome survey of eight ray-finned fishes: Domination of giant viral members from pandoravirus and megaviricetes [PDF]
Background: Fish are an essential source of food worldwide. Most microbial diversity in marine ecosystems remains uncharacterized, with viruses accounting for most of the remaining diversity.

Study of viruses from cryosol samples
Deux approches ont permis l'exploration de la biodiversité microbienne d'échantillons de cryosol: l’analyse de l'ADN total des échantillons par métagénomique et la réactivation de virus géants capables d'infecter des protozoaires du genre Acanthamoeba ...

Plant genomes enclose footprints of past infections by giant virus relatives
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are eukaryotic viruses with large genomes (100 kb-2.5 Mb), which include giant Mimivirus, Megavirus and Pandoravirus.
