TL;DR: During a study following a pneumonia outbreak in 1992, a microorganism growing in amoebae and resembling a small Gram-positive coccus was isolated from the water of a cooling tower in Bradford, England.

Evolutionary genomics of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses
TL;DR: It is shown that subsequent evolution of the NCLDV genomes involved lineage-specific expansion of paralogous gene families and acquisition of numerous genes via horizontal gene transfer from the eukaryotic hosts, other viruses, and bacteria (primarily, endosymbionts and parasites).

Ecology of Free-Living Amoebae
TL;DR: Small free-living amoebae (FLA) are the main predators controlling bacterial populations in soils; however, they may spread deeper, reaching the vadose zone of groundwater systems, especially where bacterial populations get to high densities.

TL;DR: It is proposed that amoebae are “melting pots” of microbial evolution where diverse forms emerge, including giant viruses with complex gene repertoires of various origins.
