• The 474-Kilobase-Pair Complete Genome Sequence of CeV-01B, a Virus Infecting Haptolina (Chrysochromulina) ericina(Prymnesiophyceae) 

      Gallot-lavallée, Lucie; Pagarete, António; Legendre, Matthieu; Santini, Sebastien; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Himmelbauer, Heinz; Ogata, Hiroyuki; Bratbak, Gunnar; Claverie, Jean-Michel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-03)
      We report the complete genome sequence of CeV-01B, a large double-stranded DNA virus infecting the unicellular marine phytoplankton Haptolina (formerly Chrysochromulina) ericina. CeV-01B and its closest relative Phaeocystis ...
    • Emerging interaction patterns in the Emiliania huxleyi-EhV system 

      Ruiz Martinez, Eliana; Oosterhof, Monique; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Larsen, Aud; Pagarete, António (Journal article, 2017-03-22)
      Viruses are thought to be fundamental in driving microbial diversity in the oceanic planktonic realm. That role and associated emerging infection patterns remain particularly elusive for eukaryotic phytoplankton and their ...
    • 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 ...
    • Seasonal dynamics of haptophytes and dsDNA algal viruses suggest complex virus-host relationship 

      Johannessen, Torill Vik; Larsen, Aud; Bratbak, Gunnar; Pagarete, António; Edvardsen, Bente; Egge, Elianne Dunthorn; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04-20)
      Viruses influence the ecology and diversity of phytoplankton in the ocean. Most studies of phytoplankton host–virus interactions have focused on bloom-forming species like Emiliania huxleyi or Phaeocystis spp. The role of ...
    • Tsv-N1: A novel DNA algal virus that infects tetraselmis striata 

      Pagarete, António; Grébert, Théophile; Stepanova, Olga; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Bratbak, Gunnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-17)
      Numbering in excess of 10 million per milliliter of water, it is now undisputed that aquatic viruses are one of the major factors shaping the ecology and evolution of Earth’s microbial world. Nonetheless, environmental ...
