Virophage-like viruses replicate with a candidate phycodnavirus of C. parva

George R Thomas, Ichiro Inamoto, Steven M. Short

Two polinton-like viruses, Larry and Curly, replicated in C. parva cultures only with the Algavirales phycodnavirus CpV-BQ1, not with the Imitervirales virus CpV-BQ3, and they reduced BQ1 replication.

A polinton-like virus of the algae Chrysochromulina parva inhibits the growth of a newly isolated relative of Tethysvirus ontarioense

G. Thomas, Ichiro Inamoto, Christine N. Palermo, Gurshan Bajaj, Steven M. Short

This study identifies a new Tethysvirus, CpV-BQ3, and demonstrates its interaction with a polinton-like virus, CpV-PLV Moe, showing mutualistic and antagonistic effects on algal host growth.

Hybrid sequencing reveals the genome of a Chrysochromulina parva virus and highlight its distinct replication strategy

Delaney Nash, Christine N. Palermo, Ichiro Inamoto, Trevor C. Charles, Jozef I. Nissimov, Steven M. Short

The paper reports the complete genome sequence of CpV-BQ1, a phycodnavirus infecting Chrysochromulina parva, and shows its phylogenetic relationship to other viruses in the Megaviricetes phylum.
