Homing in on the rare virosphere reveals the native host of giant viruses

The paper uses single-cell metatranscriptomics to identify the native hosts of giant viruses in marine plankton communities, revealing a rare host-virus relationship and viral control of host population dynamics.

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.

Rising through the Ranks: Seasonal and Diel Patterns of Marine Viruses

The paper analyzes seasonal and diel patterns of marine viruses using size-fractionated water samples to infer potential host interactions and life history traits.

Heliorhodopsins are absent in diderm (Gram-negative) bacteria: Some thoughts and possible implications for activity

The paper examines the presence of heliorhodopsins in diderm bacteria using metagenomic data and finds they are absent, suggesting a possible role in light-driven transport of amphiphilic molecules.

The use of a chimeric rhodopsin vector for the detection of new proteorhodopsins based on color

This paper describes a functional assay using a chimeric rhodopsin vector to detect proteorhodopsins without sequencing, enabling rapid visual results in marine microbiology courses.
