Viruses, Proviruses and Satellites from Asgard Archaea Enrichments Reveal Complex Microbial Interactions
Asgard archaea are the closest known relatives of eukaryotes and are central to models of eukaryogenesis involving archaeal bacterial symbiosis, yet the contribution of viruses remains unexplored. Here, for the first time, we visualised unique viruses associated with Asgard archaeal cells. Additionally, we identified the first putative Asgard-archaeal virus satellite, which exhibited genomic…
