Viral Diversity of Coastal Restinga Soils From Southern Brazil. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepCoastal ecotones are highly dynamic environments for viral studies due to their extreme abiotic conditions, transitional nature between marine and terrestrial domains and high biodiversity. In Brazil, the Restinga is a coastal ecotone along the shoreline,

Detection of inteins among diverse DNA polymerase genes of uncultivated members of the Phycodnaviridae [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2009 Abstract Viruses in the family Phycodnaviridae infect autotrophic protists in aquatic environments. Application of a PCR assay targeting the DNA polymerase of viruses in this family has revealed that phycodnaviruses are quite diverse and appear to be widespread, but a limited number of environments have been examined so far.

Unveiling of the Diversity of Prasinoviruses (Phycodnaviridae) in Marine Samples by Using High-Throughput Sequencing Analyses of PCR-Amplified DNA Polymerase and Major Capsid Protein Genes [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014 ABSTRACT Viruses strongly influence the ecology and evolution of their eukaryotic hosts in the marine environment, but little is known about their diversity and distribution. Prasinoviruses infect an abundant and widespread class of phytoplankton, the Mamiellophyceae, and thereby exert a specific and important role in microbial ...

Identification of Freshwater Phycodnaviridae and Their Potential Phytoplankton Hosts, Using DNA pol Sequence Fragments and a Genetic-Distance Analysis [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT Viruses that infect phytoplankton are an important component of aquatic ecosystems, yet in lakes they remain largely unstudied. In order to investigate viruses ( Phycodnaviridae ) infecting eukaryotic phytoplankton in lakes and to estimate the number of potential host species, samples were ...
