  2. Marine viruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_viruses

    Virophages are small, double-stranded DNA viruses that rely on the co-infection of giant viruses. Virophages rely on the viral replication factory of the co-infecting giant virus for their own replication. One of the characteristics of virophages is that they have a parasitic relationship with the co-infecting virus. Their dependence upon the ...

  3. Marine microorganisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_microorganisms

    The origin of viruses is unclear because they do not form fossils, so molecular techniques have been used to compare the DNA or RNA of viruses and are a useful means of investigating how they arose. [36] Viruses are now recognised as ancient and as having origins that pre-date the divergence of life into the three domains. [37]

  4. Algal virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algal_virus

    The virus, later named the Skeletonema costatum DNA virus (ScDCV), was found to have an icosahedral capsid and a double-stranded DNA genome. [16] Subsequently, after the discovery of Skeletonema costatum DNA virus (ScDCV), another Diatom virus was isolated and characterized as the Chaetoceros setoensis DNA Virus (CsetDNAV), which was found to ...

  5. Phycodnaviridae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phycodnaviridae

    Chrysochromulina is a particularly important genus as it can comprise more than 50% of the photosynthetic nanoplanktonic cells in the ocean. [36] Little is known about the life cycle of the virus infecting these flagellate-containing planktonic species, Chrysochromulina brevifilum and C. strobilus. Suttle and Chan (1995) were the first to ...

  6. Hydrothermal vent microbial communities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent...

    Hydrothermal vent plumes contain high concentrations of methane and carbon monoxide with methane concentration reaching 10 7 times of the surrounding ocean water. [11] [12] Deep ocean water is also a large reservoir of carbon and concentration of carbon dioxide species such as dissolved CO 2 and HCO 3 − around 2.2mM. [13]

  7. Nucleocytoviricota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleocytoviricota

    Members of the phylum are also known as the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV), which serves as the basis of the name of the phylum with the suffix - viricota for virus phylum. These viruses are referred to as nucleocytoplasmic because they are often able to replicate in both the host's cell nucleus and cytoplasm .

  8. Cyanophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanophage

    The viruses cannot move independently and must rely on currents, mixing, and host cells to transport them. Viruses cannot actively target their hosts and must wait to encounter them. The higher probability of collision may explain why cyanophages of the Myoviridae family primarily infect one of the most abundant cyanobacteria, Synechoccocus. [3]

  9. Marine life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_life

    Marine life, sea life or ocean life is the collective ecological communities that encompass all aquatic animals, plants, algae, fungi, protists, single-celled microorganisms and associated viruses living in the saline water of marine habitats, either the sea water of marginal seas and oceans, or the brackish water of coastal wetlands, lagoons ...
