Viral metagenomics and phylogenomics for One Health
… to reveal much more of the entire picture of viral diversity and evolution that by simply using them in a separated way. I show that this is the case for each one of the scientific questions addressed in this work, which are organised in three main chapters: - In the second chapter I analysed …

Elucidating aquatic virioplankton diversity and dynamics using high-throughput DNA sequencing
Viral infection and lysis are important processes contributing to the diversification and evolution of microbial communities. In marine ecosystems that cover 70% of the earth’s surface, there are ~10 million viruses per milliliter of seawater, indicating an incredible diversity of viruses waiting …

Metagenomic approaches for examining the diversity of large DNA viruses in the biosphere
… has challenged the traditional perception of viral complexity due to their enormous genome size and physical dimensions. Previously, viruses were considered small, filterable agents until the discovery of large DNA viruses. Among large DNA viruses, the phylum Nucleocytoviricota and its …

Expanding the Horizons of Enzybiotic Identification
… the host bacterium and freeing newly-assembled viral particles. At the same time, an increasing body of evidence has demonstrated that recombinantly-purified phage lysins—when added exogenously—can potently kill Gram-positive bacteria, whose peptidoglycan is accessible from the extracellular …
