[citation needed] It exhibits 7 aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (Table 2), the archetypes of enzymes previously thought only to be encoded by cellular organisms. While 4 of these enzymes were known to be present in Mimivirus and Mamavirus (for tyrosine, arginine, cysteine, and methionine), Megavirus exhibits three more (for tryptophan, asparagine ...
According to Koonin, [23] RNA viruses colonized eukaryotes first and subsequently co-evolved with their hosts. This concept fits well with the proposed "ancient co-evolution hypothesis", which also assumes a long co-evolution of viruses and fungi. [1] [13] The "ancient co-evolution hypothesis" could explain why mycoviruses are so diverse. [13] [24]
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest structure composed of living entities, stretching 2,000 km (1,200 mi) but contains many organisms of many types of species. When considering singular entities, the largest organisms are clonal colonies which can spread over large areas. Pando, a clonal colony of the quaking aspen tree, is widely ...
The World Health Organization released its first ever list of fungal priority pathogens last year in response to the increased threat of invasive fungal disease. Candida auris, for example, was ...
Pandoravirus is a proposed genus of giant virus, first discovered in 2013. [5] It is the third largest in physical size of any known viral genus, behind Pithovirus and Megaklothovirus. [6] Pandoraviruses have double stranded DNA genomes, with the largest genome size (2.5 million base pairs) of any known viral genus. [7]

A virus that wipes out over 80% of the world's population, leaving the crew of an unaffected U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151), to find a cure, stop the virus, and save humanity. Rigellian fever Star Trek ("Requiem for Methuselah")
Much of the New World is also at risk of the disease arriving within the coming years. [2] The fungus is capable of causing sporadic deaths in some amphibian populations and 100% mortality in others. No effective measure is known for control of the disease in wild populations. Various clinical signs are seen by individuals affected by the disease.
