Viruses carrying phoH genes are an important functional group that may boost phosphate
metabolism of their prokaryote hosts and affect phosphorus cycle in the ocean. However, at …

The virus-to-prokaryote ratio (VPR), which reflects the numerical dominance of viruses over

The bathypelagic zone is a large, dark, cold, high-pressure environment that undergoes
extensive material and energy exchanges with the upper ocean and the deep biosphere …

Lake Baikal phage communities are important for lake ecosystem functioning. Here we
describe the diversity of T4-bacteriophage associated with the bacterial fraction of filtered …

Estuaries are one of the most highly productive and economically important ecosystems at
