Viruses numerically dominate our oceans; however, we have only just begun to document
the diversity, host range and infection dynamics of marine viruses, as well as the subsequent …

Bacterial community composition among individual, experimentally generated 'lake
snow'particles may be highly variable. Since such aggregates are seasonally abundant in …

Viruses are the most abundant biological entity on Earth and their interactions with microbial
communities are recognized to influence microbial ecology and impact biogeochemical …

Electron transfer and mass transfer are critical processes for efficient sediment remediation
using sediment microbial electrochemical systems (SMESs). Increasing reports show that …

Next generation sequencing using platforms such as Illumina MiSeq provides a deeper
insight into the structure and function of bacterioplankton communities in coastal ecosystems …

Multiple virus particles can infect a target host cell. Such multiple infections (MIs) have
significant and varied ecological and evolutionary consequences for both virus and host …

Microbial interactions are important for ecosystem function, but occur at the microscale and
so are difficult to observe. Previous studies in marine systems have shown significant shifts …

The distribution of viruses and their impact on prokaryotes were studied using the
epifluorescence and transmission electron microscopy along a transect, located at 130° E …

Bacterial taxa shape microbial community composition and influence aquatic ecosystem
dynamics. Studies on bacterial persistence in rivers have primarily focussed on microbial …

In light of limited research into the relationship between the macroscale distribution and
dynamic changes of microplankton in the shallow Bohai Sea, here we used flow cytometry to …
