Abstract excerpt
Chloroviruses (family Phycodnaviridae) are large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses that infect unicellular green algae present in inland waters. These viruses have been isolated using three main chlorella-like green algal host cells, traditionally called NC64A, SAG, and Pbi, revealing extensive genetic diversity. In this study, we performed a functional genomic analysis on 36 chloroviruses that infected the...
