Viral infection and virophage co-infection induce distinct remodeling of host lipidome
Virophages are small double-stranded DNA viruses that co-infect eukaryotic cells along with giant viruses. They are widespread in aquatic ecosystems and can influence microbial population dynamics by acting as an adaptive antiviral defense system, limiting production of giant virus progeny. Giant viruses extensively reprogram host metabolism to support their replication, yet little is known about…
