Metabolic and biogeochemical consequences of viral infection in aquatic ecosystems
Ecosystems are controlled by 'bottom-up'(resources) and 'top-down'(predation) forces. Viral
infection is now recognized as a ubiquitous top-down control of microbial growth across …

Plastic leachates impair growth and oxygen production in Prochlorococcus, the ocean's most abundant photosynthetic bacteria
Plastic pollution is a global threat to marine ecosystems. Plastic litter can leach a variety of
substances into marine environments; however, virtually nothing is known regarding how …

Multiple mechanisms drive phage infection efficiency in nearly identical hosts
Phage–host interactions are critical to ecology, evolution, and biotechnology. Central to
those is infection efficiency, which remains poorly understood, particularly in nature. Here …

Lysogeny in the oceans: lessons from cultivated model systems and a reanalysis of its prevalence
In the oceans, viruses that infect bacteria (phages) influence a variety of microbially
mediated processes that drive global biogeochemical cycles. The nature of their influence is …
