"Gene duplication as a major force driving the genome expansion in some giant viruses"-Machado et al describe a new giant virus, Cedratvirus pambiensis, and show that its 623,564 kb genome has evolved through gene duplication, a common theme among giant viruses. #giantViruses doi.org/10.1128/jvi....

~85% of animal species are Arthropods. ~50% of them harbor a Wolbachia symbiont. ~99% of arthropod Wolbachia harbor phage WO. -#phageWO proteins hijack gametes/embryos to spread Wolbachia -Sarah Bordenstein details how to isolate these phages.

Pretty interesting preprint on Legionella longbeachae from some smart French colleagues! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Difficult to be more #protistsonsky that this. Very cool journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Amazing work by @annamichalik.bsky.social and co., from the Jagiellonian University, showing a quite interesting "trick" from an #endosymbiont to insure its maternal transmission. As a puls, an "unstable" #Sulcia genome and a tiny #Vidania #SymbioSky #MicroSky doi.org/10.1101/2023...

🔍 Exciting news from @ettema.bsky.social ! Stay tuned for a forthcoming PhD position in cultivating novel microbial lineages, specifically #archaea, at Microbiology lab, at WUR campus in Wageningen. Spread the word to potential candidates! #ScienceCareers

First post here: I will soon announce a PhD position in cultivation of novel microbial lineages (#archaea!!!). If you are interested in joining our lab at WUR campus and live in wonderful Wageningen, stay tuned here! Feel free to notify potentially interested candidates.

I am just so fascinated by this image. From this paper: analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #protistsonsky

It was good to hang around in #London, a first since Covid lockdown! Always pleasant to (re)discover places that makes this city such a great venue !

happy to contribute to the new fees #protistsonsky with and older post on "virovory" (?🤔 yes, munching viruses/phages😋) by protists, here Halteria sp. > schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2...

Yay let’s get the #protistsonsky party started 😉

For all the people migrating here that work on #Symbiosis, I have now created a (hopefully) working feed for us. For now, simply tag posts with #SymbioSky and they will be collected there. No sign-up needed!
