Phaeoviral Infections Are Present in Macrocystis, Ecklonia and Undaria (Laminariales) and Are Influenced by Wave Exposure in Ectocarpales

Viruses, 2018
Two sister orders of the brown macroalgae (class Phaeophyceae), the morphologically complex Laminariales (commonly referred to as kelp) and the morphologically simple Ectocarpales are natural hosts for the dsDNA phaeoviruses (family Phycodnaviridae) that

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

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 ...

Variation in the Genetic Repertoire of Viruses Infecting Micromonas pusilla Reflects Horizontal Gene Transfer and Links to Their Environmental Distribution

Viruses, 2017
Prasinophytes, a group of eukaryotic phytoplankton, has a global distribution and is infected by large double-stranded DNA viruses (prasinoviruses) in the family Phycodnaviridae.

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
