Chloroviruses

Viruses, 2019
Chloroviruses are large dsDNA, plaque-forming viruses that infect certain chlorella-like green algae; the algae are normally mutualistic endosymbionts of protists and metazoans and are often referred to as zoochlorellae.

The Transmissibility of the Human Skin Virome: Potential Forensic Implications

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
To robustly establish the forensic potential of the human skin virome, continuous research and investigation across diverse ethnic groups are necessary. This study evaluated the stability and transmissibility of the skin virome in Koreans. Our results show that the skin virome is stable over time and can be shared through contact with objects ...

Variations of the Virome in Raw and Treated Water: A One‐Year Follow‐Up at Six Different Drinking Water Treatment Plants

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
This paper describes monitoring of outgoing water from drinking water treatment plants, geographically spread over half of Sweden and sampled every other month for 1 year. We found differences in the virome from the different water sources from each plant as well as differences in virus size and seasonal variation, where we also could detect viruses in

Coral-Associated Viral Assemblages From the Central Red Sea Align With Host Species and Contribute to Holobiont Genetic Diversity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Coral reefs are highly diverse marine ecosystems increasingly threatened on a global scale. The foundation species of reef ecosystems are stony corals that depend on their symbiotic microalgae and bacteria for aspects of their metabolism, immunity, and ...

Gut Virome: What's the Role in Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The gut virome, an integral but still poorly understood component of the gut microbiota, is emerging as an important player in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Recent evidence suggests that alterations in virome diversity and phage–bacteria interactions contribute to gut dysbiosis, immune modulation and gut barrier ...

Genomic diversity and global distribution of four new prasinoviruses from the tropical north Pacific

Microbiology Spectrum
Viruses that infect phytoplankton are an integral part of marine ecosystems, but the vast majority of viral diversity remains uncultivated. Here, we introduce four near-complete genomic assemblies of viruses that infect the widespread marine ...

Commensal Viruses Promote Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration Following Radiation Damage by Inhibiting Hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch Signals

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Ionizing radiation disrupts gut virome and bacteriome. Gut commensal viruses protect against intestinal damage and promote stem cell regeneration by inhibiting hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch signaling in stem cells. Fecal virome transplantation (FVT) from healthy donors can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention by enriching phages targeting

Host Range and Coding Potential of Eukaryotic Giant Viruses

Viruses, 2020
Giant viruses are a group of eukaryotic double-stranded DNA viruses with large virion and genome size that challenged the traditional view of virus. Newly isolated strains and sequenced genomes in the last two decades have substantially advanced our ...

Virus communities are associated with the degradation of recalcitrant carbon during the corpse decay of plateau pika (Ochoton curzoniae)

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 281-293, September 2025.
Abstract Background It has been reported that bacteria and fungi play a vital role in soil biogeochemical cycles during the decomposition of animal corpses. However, it is poorly understood how the viral composition and function of grassland soil change during the decay of wild mammal corpses.

Annual dynamics and metagenomics of marine vesicles: One more layer of complexity in the dissolved organic fraction

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 1315-1328, May 2025.
Abstract Despite the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in genetic and biogeochemical exchange in the ocean, there is a notable dearth of studies delving into the seasonal annual dynamics of EVs in uncultured microbial communities. Here, quantitative data from the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea revealed that EVs mL−1 ranged from 104 to 106 throughout
