A multitrophic model to quantify the effects of marine viruses on microbial food webs and ecosystem processes
Viral lysis of microbial hosts releases organic matter that can then be assimilated by
nontargeted microorganisms. Quantitative estimates of virus-mediated recycling of carbon in …

Novel viral communities potentially assisting in carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur metabolism in the upper slope sediments of Mariana Trench
Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans. Even in the deep sediments of the Mariana Trench,
viruses have high productivity. However, little is known about their species composition and …

The ecology of viruses that infect eukaryotic algae
SM Short - Environmental Microbiology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Because viruses of eukaryotic algae are incredibly diverse, sweeping generalizations about
their ecology are rare. These obligate parasites infect a range of algae and their diversity …
