CAPSOLUTION investigates how giant viruses in aquatic ecosystems identify and infect host cells. By characterizing unique capsid structures of newly discovered viruses, the project aims to understand their evolutionary adaptations and infection strategies in low-density environments.
How do viruses identify their hosts in a challenging environment?
This question is highly relevant for protist-infecting giant viruses in aquatic ecosystems, where the density of host cells is typically low and random encounters are rare.
Giant viruses have genome sizes of up to two megabases and encode a vast genetic diversity, but we know almost nothing about their diverse capsid structures and the various strategies they use for infecting the next host cell.
During the last decade, I have she…
