Zamilon, a Novel Virophage with Mimiviridae Host Specificity
Virophages, which are potentially important ecological regulators, have been discovered in association with members of the order Megavirales. Sputnik virophages target the Mimiviridae, Mavirus was identified with the Cafeteria roenbergensis virus, and virophage genomes reconstructed by metagenomic analyses may be associated with the Phycodnaviridae. Despite the fact that the Sputnik virophages ...
متن کاملA New Zamilon-like Virophage Partial Genome Assembled from a Bioreactor Metagenome
Virophages replicate within viral factories inside the Acanthamoeba cytoplasm, and decrease the infectivity and replication of their associated giant viruses. Culture isolation and metagenome analyses have suggested that they are common in our environment. By screening metagenomic databases in search of amoebal viruses, we detected virophage-related sequences among sequences generated from the ...
متن کاملBroad Spectrum of Mimiviridae Virophage Allows Its Isolation Using a Mimivirus Reporter
The giant virus Mimiviridae family includes 3 groups of viruses: group A (includes Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus), group B (includes Moumouvirus) and group C (includes Megavirus chilensis). Virophages have been isolated with both group A Mimiviridae (the Mamavirus strain) and the related Cafeteria roenbergensis virus, and they have also been described by bioinformatic analysis of the Phycodn...
متن کاملMetagenomics Reveals a Novel Virophage Population in a Tibetan Mountain Lake
Virophages are parasites of giant viruses that infect eukaryotic organisms and may affect the ecology of inland water ecosystems. Despite the potential ecological impact, limited information is available on the distribution, diversity, and hosts of virophages in ecosystems. Metagenomics revealed that virophages were widely distributed in inland waters with various environmental characteristics ...
متن کاملA new Salmonella typhimurium DNA host specificity.
The genetic properties of a new (hspS) host specificity of Salmonella typhimurium were investigated using bacteriophage L. Phage L is a better substrate for s-specific restriction than phage P22. Mutants deficient in s-restriction only were found at the same frequency as mutants deficient in both restriction and modification. Crosses between S. typhimurium Hfr and S. typhimurium For between Esc...
