Infection strategy and biogeography distinguish cosmopolitan groups of marine jumbo bacteriophages [PDF]
Abstract Recent research has underscored the immense diversity and key biogeochemical roles of large DNA viruses in the ocean. Although they are important constituents of marine ecosystems, it is sometimes difficult to detect these viruses due to their large size and complex genomes. This is true for “jumbo” bacteriophages, which have

Incidence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Bacteriophages and Other Vibrio Bacteriophages in Marine Samples [PDF]
Vibrio bacteriophages were isolated by enrichment from 177 of 643 samples of marine molluscan shellfish, crustaceans, seawater, and sediments. The predominant bacteriophage types isolated were specific for some strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

On the Stability of Marine Bacteriophages
The author investigated the stability of some marine bacteriophages by exposing them to various conditions, changing pH and salinity of suspended media, heating at 50°C for 30min, and adding chloroform. The five marine bacteriophages examined showed different degrees of inactivation by these treatments.

An Explicit Test of Kill the Winner: Protistan Grazing and Phage Lysis Differentially Impact Fast-Growing Bacterial Taxa in the Coastal Antarctic. [PDF]
We evaluated whether predators ‘kill the winner’ wherein protists and phages preferentially impact the most abundant members of bacterial assemblages over an austral summer with weekly dilution experiments. Seawater from 10 m was divided into two serial dilutions with either 0.2 μm (to evaluate protist grazing) or 30 kDa (to evaluate protist grazing ...

Bacteriophage sensitivity patterns among bacteria isolated from marine waters [PDF]
Phage-host cross-reaction tests were performed with 774 bacterial strains and 298 bacteriophages. The bacteria (bacteriophages) were isolated at different times from water samples collected in the Atlantic Ocean between the European continental shelf and the Sargasso Sea: 733 (258) strains; in the North Sea near Helgoland: 31 (31) strains; and in the ...

Encapsidation of host DNA by bacteriophages infecting marine Synechococcus strains [PDF]
It has been speculated that horizontal gene transfer might be important in the evolution of strains of the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus and that phages might mediate this process, but until now there has been no direct evidence to support this idea.

Bacteriophages of marine Roseobacter [PDF]
The oceans cover ca. 70% of the Earth’s surface and due to their depth\ud encompass around 300 times the habitable volume of the terrestrial environment. The\ud exact proportion of life on Earth that exists in the oceans is unknown as many ocean\ud species remain undiscovered; in particular this holds true for the viruses that infect\ud marine ...

The diversity of bacteriophages is likely unparalleled in the biome due to the immense variety of hosts and the multitude of viruses that infect them. Recent efforts have led to description at the genomic level of numerous bacteriophages that infect the ...
