This study investigates how RNA virus infection reprograms the metabolism of a marine diatom, revealing significant changes in lipid and nitrogen pathways and stress responses.

The paper analyzes a global lipidomics dataset to reveal how marine plankton adapt their lipidomes to environmental stressors, identifying distinct lipid clusters linked to temperature, light, and nutrient conditions.

This study shows viral infection of diatoms increases oxylipin production, enhancing carbon export in the ocean despite viral shunt processes.
