#Virus control

This exciting new research explores the influence of #virus #infection in changing the balance of organic matter degradation between #bacteria and #eukaryotes in #marine #carboncycling during #phytoplankton blooms.

Based on #mesocosm studies, this research demonstrates how #viruses infecting different #microorganisms change community dynamics and the release and potential fate of marine carbon from primary production.

Viral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms - Nature Communications

Algal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production that play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling. Here, the authors show how bloom termination by viral infection can shift the balance between eukaryotic and prokaryotic recyclers of phytoplankton biomass.

Big week scientifically !
Happy to share the latest paper from my stay in the Vardi lab, a great collab wt co-author Matti Gralka. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36049-3
In 2018 we conducted a big #mesocosm experiment to explore the impact of #viralinfection in #phytoplankton blooms, on marine #microbial #ecosystems. Using a month-long #time course across 7 huge bags, we manage to disentangle how viruses can potentially affect #microbial succession and flow of #carbon in the #ocean. Small microbes, big impact!
