Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Sporulation in yeast is induced by starvation; resource exploitation by endosymbiont should induce earlier sporulation. We find that the presence of two dsRNA viruses is linked to enhanced sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, further research is required to determine whether high sporulation leads to infection or infection leads to higher ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 3477-3498, July 2021., 2021 Summary Microbial communities in hypersaline underground waters derive from ancient organisms trapped within the evaporitic salt crystals and are part of the poorly known subterranean biosphere. Here, we characterized the viral and prokaryotic assemblages present in the hypersaline springs that dissolve Triassic‐Keuper evaporite rocks and feed the ...

Structural Studies of the Sputnik Virophage [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2010 ABSTRACT The virophage Sputnik is a satellite virus of the giant mimivirus and is the only satellite virus reported to date whose propagation adversely affects its host virus' production. Genome sequence analysis showed that Sputnik has genes related to viruses infecting all three domains of life. Here, we report structural studies of Sputnik,

Inside the Lifestyle of the Virophage [PDF]
Intervirology, 2010 <i>Objective(s):</i> We sought to better characterize Sputnik, the first isolated virophage, and to analyze its parasitic lifestyle during co-infection with Marseillevirus (a new giant virus) in <i>Acanthamoeba castellanii</i>. <i>Methods:</i> A combination of electron microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy, and ...

The Virophage Family Lavidaviridae [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2018 Double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses of the family Lavidaviridae, commonly known as virophages, are a fascinating group of eukaryotic viruses that depend on a coinfecting giant dsDNA virus of the Mimiviridae for their propagation. Instead of replicating in the nucleus, virophages multiply in the cytoplasmic virion factory of a coinfecting giant virus ...

High-level diversity of tailed phages, eukaryote-associated viruses, and virophage-like elements in the metaviromes of Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2014 The metaviromes of two distinct Antarctic hyperarid desert soil communities have been characterized. Hypolithic communities, cyanobacterium-dominated assemblages situated on the ventral surfaces of quartz pebbles embedded in the desert pavement, showed

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

Natural solution to antibiotic resistance: bacteriophages ‘The Living Drugs’ [PDF]
, 2014 Antibiotics have been a panacea in animal husbandry as well as in human therapy for decades. The huge amount of antibiotics used to induce the growth and protect the health of farm animals has lead to the evolution of bacteria that are resistant to the ...
