Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Exposure to Mimivirus collagen promotes arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Collagens, the most abundant proteins in animals, also occur in some recently described nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses such as Mimiviridae, which replicate in amoebae.

Broad spectrum of mimiviridae virophage allows its isolation using a mimivirus reporter. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The giant virus Mimiviridae family includes 3 groups of viruses: group A (includes Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus), group B (includes Moumouvirus) and group C (includes Megavirus chilensis).

Virophages and Their Interactions with Giant Viruses and Host Cells

open access: yesProteomes, 2018
Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that were first isolated in association with some giant viruses (GVs), and then found in metagenomics samples. They encode about 20–34 proteins.

HCIV-1 and other tailless icosahedral internal membrane-containing viruses of the family Sphaerolipoviridae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Members of the virus family Sphaerolipoviridae include both archaeal viruses and bacteriophages that possess a tailless icosahedral capsid with an internal membrane.

Diel transcriptional response of a California Current plankton microbiome to light, low iron, and enduring viral infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Phytoplankton and associated microbial communities provide organic carbon to oceanic food webs and drive ecosystem dynamics. However, capturing those dynamics is challenging. Here, an in situ, semi-Lagrangian, robotic sampler profiled pelagic microbes at

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

Initial Mapping of the New York City Wastewater Virome

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Bacteriophages are abundant members of all microbiomes studied to date, influencing microbial communities through interactions with their bacterial hosts.
