Viral Diversity of Coastal Restinga Soils From Southern Brazil. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This study revealed high viral diversity in Restinga soils of southern Brazil, identifying over 6000 species (half unclassified) across 261 families. Dominant families included Mimiviridae, Phycodnaviridae, Peduoviridae and Kyanoviridae. While diversity was consistent among sites, urbanization and landscape isolation influenced viral richness and ...

Viral Assemblages of a Hypersaline Estuary Show Divergent Responses to Freshwater and Temperature Disturbances. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Metagenomic assessment of viromes at two sites in Laguna Madre, a hypersaline estuary, showed unique viral communities. Extreme cold temperature changes showed a greater propensity to enrich AMGs toward oxidative phosphorylation and sulfur metabolism. Extreme shifts in salinity led to homogenized viral taxonomic groups more similar to those typically ...

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

Detection of inteins among diverse DNA polymerase genes of uncultivated members of the Phycodnaviridae [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2008
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.

Taxonomic, functional and expression analysis of viral communities associated with marine sponges [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Viruses play an essential role in shaping the structure and function of ecological communities. Marine sponges have the capacity to filter large volumes of ‘virus-laden’ seawater through their bodies and host dense communities of microbial symbionts ...

A Functional K⁺ Channel from Tetraselmis Virus 1, a Member of the Mimiviridae

Viruses, 2020
Potassium ion (K+) channels have been observed in diverse viruses that infect eukaryotic marine and freshwater algae. However, experimental evidence for functional K+ channels among these alga-infecting viruses has thus far been restricted to members of ...

Is the Virus Important? And Some Other Questions

Viruses, 2018
The motivation for focusing on a specific virus is often its importance in terms of impact on human interests. The chlorella viruses are a notable exception and 40 years of research has made them the undisputed model system for large icosahedral dsDNA ...
