  abstract = {{S}ince the discovery of {M}imivirus, the founding member of the family {M}imiviridae, three lineages, {A}-{C}, have been delineated among the mimiviruses of amoebae. {T}o date, all giant viruses with annotated genomes have been isolated from water samples. {H}ere, we describe the genome of two mimiviruses, {T}erra1 virus and {T}erra2 virus, which were recovered by co-culturing on {A}canthamoeba spp. from soil samples. {T}hese genomes are predicted to harbor 1055 and 890 genes, respectively. {C}omparative genomics and phylogenomics show that {T}erra1 virus and {T}erra2 virus are classified within lineages {C} and {A} of the amoebae-associated mimiviruses, respectively. {T}he genomic architecture of both viruses show conserved collinear central regions flanked by less conserved areas towards the extremities, when compared with other mimivirus genomes. {A} cluster of genes that are orthologous to bacterial genes and have no counterpart in other viral genomes except in lineage {C} mimiviruses was identified in {T}erra1 virus.},
