Genetically similar temperate phages form coalitions with their shared host that lead to niche-specific fitness effects.
Basso, J.T.R; Ankrah, N.Y.D; Tuttle, M.J.; Grossman, A.S.; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Buchan, A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-02)Temperate phages engage in long-term associations with their hosts that may lead to mutually beneficial interactions, of which the full extent is presently unknown. Here, we describe an environmentally relevant model system ... -
Linking bacterial community structure to advection and environmental impact along a coast-fjord gradient of the Sognefjord, western Norway
Storesund, Julia Endresen; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Thingstad, T. Frede; Asplin, Lars; Albretsen, Jon; Erga, Svein Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12)Here we present novel data on bacterial assemblages along a coast-fjord gradient in the Sognefjord, the deepest (1308 m) and longest (205 km) ice-free fjord in the world. Data were collected on two cruises, one in November ... -
Marine mimivirus relatives are probably large algal viruses
Monier, Adam; Borggaard Larsen, Jens; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Bratbak, Gunnar; Claverie, Jean-Michel; Ogata, Hiroyuki (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-01-23)Background Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is the largest known ds-DNA virus and its 1.2 Mb-genome sequence has revealed many unique features. Mimivirus occupies an independent lineage among eukaryotic viruses and its ... -
Micromonas versus virus: New experimental insights challenge viral impact
Ruiz Martinez, Eliana; Baudoux, Anne-Claire; Simon, Nathalie; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Thingstad, Tron Frede; Pagarete, António (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05)Viruses have recurrently been hypothesized as instrumental in driving microbial population diversity. Nonetheless, viral mediated co-existence of r/kstrategists, predicted in the Killing-the-Winner (KtW) hypothesis, remains ... -
Reproducing the virus-to-copepod link in Arctic mesocosms using host fitness optimization.
Thingstad, T. Frede; Larsen, Aud; Bratbak, Gunnar; Våge, Selina; Egge, Jorun Karin; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Nejstgaard, Jens Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)By shunting material out of the predatory pathway toward detritus and dissolved material, viruses are believed to have an important impact on biogeochemical functions of the pelagic microbial food web. To include viruses ... -
The Response of Heterotrophic Prokaryote and Viral Communities to Labile Organic Carbon Inputs Is Controlled by the Predator Food Chain Structure
