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

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 ...

Virus Genomes from Deep Sea Sediments Expand the Ocean Megavirome and Support Independent Origins of Viral Gigantism

mBio, 2018
Genomics and evolution of giant viruses are two of the most vigorously developing areas of virus research. Lately, metagenomics has become the main source of new virus genomes.

Analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry: An update for 2021–2022

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 213-453, May/June 2025.
Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.

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 ...

High‐Throughput Sequencings Revealed That Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis is Implicated in Gouty Arthritis of Red‐Crowned Crane (Grus japonensis)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The red‐crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is one of the rarest cranes with a global population of less than 4000 individuals. The population of red‐crowned crane could be influenced by health threats, including metabolic and infectious diseases. In the Wildlife Rescue Center of Suining County of Jiangsu Province, gouty arthritis (GA) was observed in all ...

Genes for Membrane Transport Proteins: Not So Rare in Viruses

Viruses, 2018
Some viruses have genes encoding proteins with membrane transport functions. It is unknown if these types of proteins are rare or are common in viruses.

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 ...

Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 181, Issue 22, Page 4450-4490, November 2024.
Viroporins possess important potential as antiviral targets due to their critical roles during virus life cycles, spanning from virus entry to egress. Although the antiviral amantadine targets the M2 viroporin of influenza A virus, successful progression of other viroporin inhibitors into clinical use remains challenging.
