Central carbon metabolism switching in lytic versus temperate coral reef viral communities

Jacob Kelman, Meena Khan, Chibundu Umunna, Russell E. Brainard, Grace Donohue, Robert Alan Edwards, Natalie A Falta, Emma E. George, Eleanor Gorham, Juris A. Grasis, Kevin Green, Andreas Florian Haas, Kimberly H. Halsey, Eric R. Hester, S Higgins Jacob, , Ben Knowles

The paper examines viral metabolism in coral reefs, finding that lytic viruses consume central carbon intermediates for virion production, while temperate viruses build them, leading to distinct ecosystem states.
