Daily turnover of active giant virus infection during algal blooms revealed by single-cell transcriptomics

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to reveal daily viral infection turnover in algal blooms, showing consistent infection proportions and calcified infected cells.

Visualizing active viral infection reveals diverse cell fates in synchronized algal bloom demise

The paper quantifies active viral infection in algal blooms using a novel method called Virocell-FISH, revealing that only a quarter of Emiliania huxleyi cells are infected despite synchronized bloom demise.

Diatoms structure the plankton community based on selective segregation in the world’s ocean

The paper analyzes co-occurrence networks of diatoms from the Tara Oceans expedition, revealing that most diatom interactions are independent of environmental factors and involve negative correlations with predators and parasites.
