Expanding our understanding of the seaweed holobiont: RNA viruses of the red alga Delisea pulchra.
Marine seaweeds are holobionts comprised of the macroalgal hosts and their associated microbiota. While the composition of the bacterial component of seaweed microbiomes is increasingly studied, almost nothing is known about the presence, diversity and ...
