The association of the rumen virome with methane emissions in dairy cattle [PDF]

Communications Biology
Enteric methane production in ruminants is a major environmental concern, yet its association with the ruminal virome remains largely unexplored. Here, we conduct a bioinformatic analysis on previously published ruminal metagenomes from 448 Holstein cows

Complex transcriptional regulations of a hyperparasitic quadripartite system in giant viruses infecting protists [PDF]

Nature Communications
Hyperparasitism is a common pattern in nature that is not limited to cellular organisms. Giant viruses infecting protists can be hyperparasitized by smaller ones named virophages.

Open questions in the social lives of viruses

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 1551-1567, November 2023., 2023
Social interactions among viruses are diverse and pervasive, with the potential to affect every stage of the viral lifecycle. Here, we explore some of the challenges and opportunities that these interactions present for evolutionary biology. Abstract Social interactions among viruses occur whenever multiple viral genomes infect the same cells, hosts ...

Metabolic reconstruction of the near complete microbiome of the model sponge Ianthella basta

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 646-660, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Many marine sponges host highly diverse microbiomes that contribute to various aspects of host health. Although the putative function of individual groups of sponge symbionts has been increasingly described, the extreme diversity has generally precluded in‐depth characterization of entire microbiomes, including identification of syntrophic ...

Presence of CRISPR CAS‐Like Sequences as a Proposed Mechanism for Horizontal Genetic Exchanges between Trichomonas vaginalis and Its Associated Virus: A Comparative Genomic Analysis with the First Report of a Putative CRISPR CAS Structures in Eukaryotic Cells

BioMed Research International, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Introduction. Trichomonas vaginalis genome is among the largest genome size and coding capacities. Combinations of gene duplications, transposon, repeated sequences, and lateral gene transfers (LGTs) have contributed to the unexpected large genomic size and diversity. This study is aimed at investigating genomic exchange and seeking for presence of the

Bacteriophages pass through candle‐shaped porous ceramic filters: Application for the collection of viruses in soil water

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
This study proposes to use porous candles as a new tool for collecting soil water viruses. In the first step, the passage of model viruses through the ceramic part of the candles was investigated. Regarding the field application, the experiments carried out showed a successful recovery of viruses, demonstrating the relevance and efficiency of such a ...

Virophage infection mode determines ecological and evolutionary changes in a host-virus-virophage system. [PDF]

ISME J
Abstract Giant viruses can control their eukaryotic host populations, shaping the ecology and evolution of aquatic microbial communities. Understanding the impact of the viruses’ own parasites, the virophages, on the control of microbial communities remains a challenge. Most virophages have two modes of infection.
