The paper identifies active giant-virus infections in protists and shows conserved antiviral defenses and potential viral counter-defense mechanisms.

The paper shows that elevated temperature inhibits viral life cycle stages in Gephyrocapsa huxleyi but allows reversibility under prolonged heatwave conditions.

This study shows that metacaspases in diatoms are crucial for thermotolerance during marine heat waves, as their absence leads to increased heat sensitivity and oxidative stress.

The paper identifies organohalogen metabolites as biomarkers for the viral shunt in coccolithophore blooms, showing their global formation and environmental stability.

The paper identifies a core transcriptional program in resistant algal populations during viral infection using transcriptomic analysis of Emiliania huxleyi.

The paper identifies bacterial-viral synergy as a key factor in algal bloom termination, showing how bacteria enhance viral infection and influence carbon cycling pathways.

The paper identifies cathepsin X as a conserved cell death protein in algae involved in responses to environmental stress through transcriptome analysis and mutant studies.
