Metavirus contains five families of the Ty3/Gypsy element with either one or two open-reading frames; these families are mdg1, mdg3, blastopia, 412, and micropia. [4] Each of the five families contains either one or two open-reading frames, gag3 and/or pol3 . [ 5 ]
Viral shunt was first described in 1999 by Steven W. Wilhelm and Curtis A. Suttle. [6] Their original paper has since been cited over 1000 times. [7] For his contributions to understanding of viral roles in marine ecosystems, Suttle has received numerous awards, including being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, receiving the A.G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in Marine Science ...
Pithovirus—the largest known virus; Parvovirus—smallest known viruses; Pelagibacter ubique—possesses one of the smallest bacterial genomes; Virophage—a virus that requires the host cell to be co-infected with a giant virus; The Giant Virus Finder is a software tool that identifies giant viruses in environmental Metagenomes.
The viral eukaryogenesis hypothesis posits that eukaryotes are composed of three ancestral elements: a viral component that became the modern nucleus; a prokaryotic cell (an archaeon according to the eocyte hypothesis) which donated the cytoplasm and cell membrane of modern cells; and another prokaryotic cell (here bacterium) that, by endocytosis, became the modern mitochondrion or chloroplast.
Virus crystallisation is the re-arrangement of viral components into solid crystal particles. [1] The crystals are composed of thousands of inactive forms of a particular virus arranged in the shape of a prism. [2] The inactive nature of virus crystals provide advantages for immunologists to effectively analyze the structure and function behind ...
'Dead to Me' star Christina Applegate, who has multiple sclerosis, contracted sapovirus from food contaminated with fecal matter.
Methanogens are anaerobic archaea that produce methane as a byproduct of their energy metabolism, i.e., catabolism.Methane production, or methanogenesis, is the only biochemical pathway for ATP generation in methanogens.
What is Marburg virus? It is a hemorrhagic fever virus from the same family as the virus that causes Ebola. The virus can be transmitted by exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat ...
