• Grazing on Marine Viruses and Its Biogeochemical Implications 

      Mayers, Kyle; Kuhlisch, Constanze; Basso, Jonelle T. R.; Saltvedt, Marius Rydningen; Buchan, Alison; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the ocean and show great diversity in terms of size, host specificity, and infection cycle. Lytic viruses induce host cell lysis to release their progeny and thereby ...
    • Removal of large viruses and their dispersal through fecal pellets of the appendicularian Oikopleura dioica during Emiliania huxleyi bloom conditions 

      Mayers, Kyle; Lawrence, Janice; Skaar, Katrine Sandnes; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Petelenz-Kurdziel, Elzbieta Anna; Saltvedt, Marius Rydningen; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Larsen, Aud; Bratbak, Gunnar; Ray, Jessica Louise (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Despite their importance in shaping the structure and function of marine microbial food webs, little is known about factors regulating marine virus abundance. Previous work demonstrated clearance of laboratory-cultured ...
    • Viral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms 

      Vincent, Flora; Gralka, Matti; Schleyer, Guy; Schatz, Daniella; Cabrera-Brufau, Miguel; Kuhlisch, Constanze; Sichert, Andreas; Vidal-Melgosa, Silvia; Mayers, Kyle; Barak-Gavish, Noa; Flores, J.

      Algal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production and play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling. Upon demise of the bloom, organic carbon is partly respired and partly transferred to either ...
