Since the discovery of the first “giant virus,” particular attention has been paid toward
isolating and culturing these large DNA viruses through Acanthamoeba spp. bait systems …

Allelopathy is a biological mechanism that can promote harmful algal blooms (HAB) via the
inhibition of sympatric phytoplankton. While nutrient loading can also promote HABs, the …

Brown tides caused by the pelagophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens have frequently
occurred in the Bohai Sea since 2009 and have led to a dramatic collapse of the local …

Viruses of eukaryotic algae have become an important research focus due to their role (s) in
nutrient cycling and top-down control of algal blooms. Omics-based studies have identified a …

Aureococcus anophagefferens forms a model host-virus system with the “giant virus”
Kratosvirus quantuckense. Studies to define its ribocell (uninfected) and virocell (virus …

The economically important seaweed Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Gp. lemaneiformis) is
the main resource for agar production and abalone bait. Few studies have focused on the …

This study explores virus-host dynamics in a unique environment: an industrial high-rate
algal pond (HRAP). A wealth of novel DNA algal viruses are revealed, including members of …

Aureococcus anophagefferens is a small marine pelagophyte that forms recurrent harmful
brown tides blooms with adverse ecological and economic impacts. During blooms, A …

The osmotrophic uptake of dissolved organic compounds in the ocean is considered to be
dominated by heterotrophic prokaryotes, whereas the role of planktonic eukaryotes is still …

Here, we report the assembled and annotated genome of the freshwater diatom Fragilaria
crotonensis SAG 28.96. The 61.85-Mb nuclear genome was assembled into 879 contigs …
