Metabolic and biogeochemical consequences of viral infection in aquatic ecosystems
AE Zimmerman, C Howard-Varona… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
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 …

Ecogenomics and potential biogeochemical impacts of globally abundant ocean viruses
Ocean microbes drive biogeochemical cycling on a global scale. However, this cycling is
constrained by viruses that affect community composition, metabolic activity, and …

Lytic to temperate switching of viral communities
Microbial viruses can control host abundances via density-dependent lytic predator–prey
dynamics. Less clear is how temperate viruses, which coexist and replicate with their host …
