Phototrophic biofilms are multispecies, self‐sustaining and largely closed microbial
ecosystems. They form macroscopic structures such as microbial mats and stromatolites …

In recent years, the impending impact of waterborne pathogens on human health has
become a growing concern. Drinking water and recreational exposure to polluted water …

Viruses are highly abundant in temperate soils, ranging from 10 7 to 10 9 g− 1, and
outnumbering soil bacteria from 5-to over 1,000-fold. In order to determine the potential …

Morphological diversity, abundance and community structure of viruses were examined in
the deep and anoxic sediments of the volcanic Lake Pavin (France). The sediment core …

Viruses are major players in the biosphere, yet little is known about their dynamics and life
strategies in alpine lakes, particularly those on the Tibetan Plateau. We investigated …

Thermokarst lakes are important features of subarctic landscapes and are a substantial
source of greenhouse gases, although the extent of gas produced varies seasonally …

In the last 15 years viruses have been acknowledged as important components of the
benthic microbial community, but our understanding of their role in the functioning of aquatic …

Balances of nitrogen and phosphate were studied in the Allal El Fassi reservoir (Morocco);
the results showing that nitrogen input (296 mg m− 2 d− 1) was 161% higher than output …

湖泊中浮游病毒的丰度在105~ 108 mLr1, 是浮游微生物中丰度较高的组分,
