The paper identifies bacteriophages in stony coral tissue loss disease that carry virulence genes, suggesting lysogenic conversion may contribute to bacterial pathogenesis in corals.

This study investigates how prophage induction affects the composition and function of a Sargassum-derived biofilm, showing shifts in community structure and metabolic capacity.

The paper investigates abundance-activity decoupling in sulfur-cycling bacteria in meromictic lakes, linking it to viral infection types and geochemical conditions.

This study identifies microbial traits, including enriched bacterial and viral communities, associated with the success of Madracis mirabilis in Curacao coral reefs.

The paper introduces a method to recover high-quality viral genomes from coral samples, builds a global virome database, and identifies key phage functions in coral holobiont interactions.
