VIRUS AND PHYTOPLANKTON INTIMACY. “Mixing of genetic pools between viruses and their hosts by horizontal transfer or through symbiotic association might have played significant roles in the evolution of viruses as well as of their hosts. The “eukaryogenesis” theory proposes that viruses might have been at the origin of the nucleus and that viruses have provided several “viral” features to primitive cells, which are now seen as properties of modern eukaryotic cells.””
