Ocean viruses are abundant and infect 20–40% of surface microbes. Infected cells, termed
virocells, are thus a predominant microbial state. Yet, virocells and their ecosystem impacts …

The degradation of particulate organic matter in the ocean is a central process in the global
carbon cycle, the mode and tempo of which is determined by the bacterial communities that …

Pseudoalteromonas, with a ubiquitous distribution, is one of the most abundant marine
bacterial genera. It is especially abundant in the deep sea and polar seas, where it has been …

Knowledge in aquatic virology has been greatly improved by culture-independent methods,
yet there is still a critical need for isolating novel phages to identify the large proportion of …

The pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) are frequent cause of urinary tract
infections including catheter-associated, soft tissue infections and sepsis. The growing …

Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of marine bacteria often found in association with other
organisms. Although several studies have examined Pseudoalteromonas diversity and their …

A novel Alteromonas phage JH01, with the host strain identified to be Alteromonas marina
SW-47 (T), was isolated from the Qingdao coast during the summer of 2017. Transmission …

Viral metagenomics (viromics) has reshaped our understanding of DNA viral diversity,
ecology, and evolution across Earth's ecosystems. However, viromics now needs …

A novel Pseudoalteromonas marina bacteriophage, PH101, specifically infecting
Pseudoalteromonas BH101 was isolated from the water sample of the Yellow Sea of China …

A novel Siphoviridae family Phage BS5, which infects Pseudoalteromonas atlantica, was
isolated from the surface waters of the Yellow Sea. Morphological study by transmission …
