Viruses are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements that are obligate symbionts of cellular life forms and replicate exclusively within host cells. The current taxonomy of viruses includes 10 realms (the top rank taxon), 8 of which have small genomes in the range of one to about 60 kilobases and commensurately small virions...

Sicyoidochytrium minutum DNA virus (SmDNAV) was isolated several years ago from a protist host of family Thraustochytriaceae of the class Labyrinthulomycetes. This virus shared little similarity to other viruses in gene content and protein sequences, albeit seemingly belonging to the phylum Nucleocytoviricota. By exten...

Surface layers (S-layers) are paracrystalline protein lattices that form the outermost layer of the cell envelope in most archaea, providing structural support, protecting against external insults, and co-ordinating interactions with their environment. Despite their widespread occurrence, the molecular and structural d...

This study demonstrates the power of SIP-viromics for resolving virus-host associations in complex anaerobic communities, linking viral diversity directly to metabolically active formatotrophic and methanogenic guilds.
