Archaeal viruses are some of the most enigmatic viruses known, due to the small number
that have been characterized to date. The number of known archaeal viruses lags behind …

The first archaeal virus was isolated over 40 years ago prior to the recognition of the three
domain structure of life. In the ensuing years, our knowledge of Archaea and their viruses …

Viruses have played a central role in the evolution and ecology of cellular life since it first
arose. Investigations into viral molecular biology and ecological dynamics have propelled …

Archaeal host cells infected by Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV) and Sulfolobus
islandicus rod-shaped virus 2 (SIRV2) produce unusual pyramid-like structures on the cell …

Viruses infect members of domains Bacteria, Eukarya, and Archaea. While those infecting
domain Eukarya are nearly universally described as “Viruses”, those of domain Bacteria, to …

Our understanding of host–virus interactions in archaeal systems generally lags behind our
knowledge of host–virus interactions in bacterial and eukaryotic systems. This is due to the …

It is probably a biological constant that viruses are found associated with all known life and
that they play an essential role in the ecology and evolution of all lifeforms. Lytic viruses …

Detailed descriptions of the consortia present in commercial mineral processing operations
have emerged in recent years, improving our understanding of the biology and the ecology …

Hot springs vary in temperature and pH, even within the same geological region. At
temperatures above 68° C, eukaryotes are unable to survive, and the microbial communities …

Viruses are the most abundant replicating entities on Earth, and they infect cells from all
three domains of life-where there are cells, there are viruses. Extremophilic organisms and …
