Assessment of viral community functional potential from viral metagenomes may be hampered by contamination with cellular sequences. [PDF]
, 2013 International audienceAlthough the importance of viruses in natural ecosystems is widely acknowledged, the functional potential of viral communities is yet to be determined.

Thermal Limits and Decline of Synechococcus Under Accelerated Warming and Marine Heatwaves
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.Marine picophytoplankton, including Synechococcus, contribute ~20% of ocean primary production and are considered thermally resilient. However, 7 years of observations and experiments in the Red Sea show that recent extreme warming reduced Synechococcus abundance. Seawater temperatures during marine heatwaves in 2023–2024 exceeded the thermal limits of

Cyanophage dynamics in a tropical urban freshwater lake
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Considerable studies have been conducted to quantify and examine free cyanophage particles across a wide range of aquatic systems, but few studies have analyzed the dynamics of host cell fraction cyanophages, and even less is known about tropical ...

Distinct Phage‐Encoded Enzymes for Substitution of Deoxythymidine by Deoxyuridine in Phage Genomes
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.Distinct enzymes including dCTP deaminases (Dcds), dTMP phosphatases (Dtms), and dTTP pyrophosphatases (Dtt) are found to be responsible for dU‐DNA biosynthesis in the phages PBS1, DSS3_VP1, and PhiR1‐37. Both PhiR1‐37‐derived and synthetic dU‐DNA are resistant to cleavage by restriction enzymes and Cas12a nuclease targeting dT‐containing sites.

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1368-1384, November 2025.Summary Algal blooms and their demise by viruses drive global‐scale ecological processes in the ocean. These blooms form the foundation of marine food webs, regulate microbial communities, and shape biogeochemical cycles. Although algal populations are constantly infected by viruses, resistant subpopulations frequently emerge after the infection.

Cyanophages: Starving the Host to Recruit Resources [PDF]
Current Biology, 2016 Phytoplankton and the viruses that infect them are locked in an evolutionary arms race, the nature of which is presently being revealed. A new study shows that cyanophage-mediated inhibition of CO2 fixation enables the phages to recruit photosynthetically formed redox and ATP to fulfill their nucleotide and metabolic demand.

Cyanophage Diversity and Community Structure in Dead Zone Sediments
mSphere, 2021 Cyanophages are viruses that target cyanobacteria and directly control their abundance via viral lysis. Cyanobacteria are known to cause large blooms in water bodies, substantially contributing to oxygen depletion in bottom waters resulting in areas ...

Comparative metagenomic analyses reveal viral-induced shifts of host metabolism towards nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Viral genomes often contain metabolic genes that were acquired from host genomes (auxiliary genes). It is assumed that these genes are fixed in viral genomes as a result of a selective force, favoring viruses that acquire specific metabolic ...
