DNA ligases of<i>Prochlorococcus marinus</i>: an evolutionary exception to the rules of replication Open
DNA ligases, essential enzymes which re-join the backbone of DNA come in two structurally-distinct isoforms, NAD-dependent and ATP-dependent, which differ in cofactor usage. The present view is that all bacteria exclusively use NAD-depende…

Diversity of dsDNA Viruses in a South African Hot Spring Assessed by Metagenomics and Microscopy Open
The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study aimed to investigate the first African hot spring (B…

Virome Assembly and Annotation: A Surprise in the Namib Desert Open
Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of environmental virome samples is challenging. Methodological biases and differences in species abundance result in fragmentary read coverage; sequence reconstruction is further complicated by the mosa…

Draft Genome Sequences of Three <i>Bacillus</i> Species from South African Marine Sponges Open
The rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria has spurred efforts to identify novel compounds with antimicrobial activity. This brief report describes the genome sequence of three Bacillus species isolates from South African marine sponges, wh…
