Lamarckian evolution of the giant Mimivirus in allopatric laboratory culture on amoebae.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology - 1 Jan 2012

Colson Philippe, Raoult Didier

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus has been subcultured 150 times on germ-free amoebae. This allopatric niche is very different from that found in the natural environment, where the virus is in competition with many other organisms. In this experiment, substantial gene variability and loss occurred...
