“…respectively, (Fitzgerald et al, 2007a(Fitzgerald et al, , 2007b(Fitzgerald et al, , 2007cJeanniard et al, 2013;Pagarete et al, 2013;Wilson et al, 2005), and those infecting amoeba and other protists (Claverie & Abergel, 2018), have elucidated "giant" genomes composed of hundreds of genes. Some of these viral genes have been implicated directly in lipid biosynthesis pathways and carbohydrate metabolism within infected host cells (DeAngelis, Jing, Graves, Burbank, & Van Etten, 1997;Graves et al, 1999;Monier et al, 2009;Nissimov et al, 2019;Rosenwasser et al, 2014;Van Etten et al, 2017;Vardi et al, 2009;Ziv et al, 2016). In addition, virus genes involved in pigment and vitamin B12 biosynthesis, photosystem II (PS-II) and photosystem I (PS-I), and carbon, phosphate and nucleotide metabolism, have been identified in viruses infecting Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus cyanobacteria (Breitbart, Thompson, Suttle, & Sullivan et al, 2007;Crummett, Puxty, Weihe, Marston, & Martiny, 2016;Enav, Mandel-Gutfreund, & Béjà, 2014;Mann, Cook, Millard, Bailey, & Clokie, 2003); the two most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth.…”
