This study links terrigenous nutrient inputs to microbial community structure and nutrient dynamics in tropical lagoons through analysis of macroalgal nitrogen content and water chemistry.

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.

This study identifies microbial symbionts in Kyphosus fish that collaboratively degrade macroalgal polysaccharides through genomic analysis and suggests their potential for industrial applications.
