Prokaryotic viruses impact functional microorganisms in nutrient removal and carbon cycle in wastewater treatment plants. Nature Communications, 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-25678-1; ...

Prokaryotic viruses (phages) existing in activated sludge (AS), a biological treatment process widely used in wastewater treatment ... Chen Y, Wang Y, Paez-Espino D, Polz MF, Zhang T. Prokaryotic ...

This is all to say that these pathways evolved in bacteria after the creation of the first eukaryotes and were introduced to some of the eukaryotic kingdoms after the last eukaryotic common ancestor, ...

“It's becoming increasingly clear that all these systems that bacteria have to defend against viruses seem to have a lot of similarities [with] their eukaryotic counterparts,” says Jacob Bobonis, who ...

An exchange of genetic material that occurred when ancient giant viruses infected ancient eukaryotic cells could have caused the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell -- its defining feature -- to form.

A virus may have influenced the evolution of multicellular life. University of Iowa biologist Albert Erives found a virus family that has a similar set of genes as eukaryotes, placing giant ...

An exchange of genetic material that occurred when ancient giant viruses infected ancient eukaryotic cells could have caused the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell--its defining feature--to form. This ...

Based on their genomes, some scientists think Asgard archaea and our eukaryotic ancestors parted ways around 2 billion years ...

The study showed these viruses share characteristics with viruses that infect prokaryotes, but also those that infect eukaryotes, including copying DNA and hijacking systems of their hosts.
