A centimeter-long bacterium with DNA contained in metabolically active, membrane-bound organelles
Cells of most bacterial species are around 2 micrometers in length, with some of the largest
specimens reaching 750 micrometers. Using fluorescence, x-ray, and electron microscopy in …

Giant virus diversity and host interactions through global metagenomics
Our current knowledge about nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) is largely
derived from viral isolates that are co-cultivated with protists and algae. Here we …
