Viruses in the #ocean outnumber cells and shape ecosystems, yet their dynamics remain poorly understood. Researchers in Matthew Sullivan's lab used high-resolution sampling of blue-ocean waters to reveal extensive depth- and diel-driven population dynamics beneath the surface. #microbiology

@PLOSBiology very interesting study about the impact of #marine #viruses on the #microbiological dynamics. The researches collected #oceanwater, purified #viralparticles from it and created #sequences of the #metagenomes of these viruses, which they used for the characterization of virus community #dynamics.
