Evidence for the acquisition of a proteorhodopsin-like rhodopsin by a chrysophyte-infecting giant virus

Petra K Byl, Christopher R. Schvarcz, Julie Thomy, Qian Li, Cori B Williams, Kurt M. LaButti, Frederik Schulz, Kyle F. Edwards, Grieg F. Steward

This paper describes the isolation and characterization of the first cultivated chrysophyte-infecting virus, ChrysoHV, which encodes a proteorhodopsin not previously found in viral genomes.

Genomic analysis of Ostreococcus tauri-infecting viruses reveals a hypervariable region associated with host--virus interactions

Julie Thomy, Julien Henri, David Demory, Frédéric Sanchez, Marie‐Line Escande, Gilles Mirambeau, Nigel H. Grimsley, Sheree Yau

This study analyzes the genomes of Ostreococcus tauri-infecting viruses, identifying a hypervariable region linked to host-virus interactions and revealing genetic diversity and potential host-switching events.
