The paper characterizes the seasonal dynamics of cell-associated viral communities in Big Turkey Lake, identifies their functional roles through auxiliary metabolic genes, and reconstructs viral genomes.

This study links cyanobacterial genome variations to toxin dynamics using metagenomic analysis of Microcystis in a lake over 10 months, showing genotype-level and single nucleotide variant associations with toxin production and release.

The paper investigates the relationship between co-occurrence and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in marine bacteria, finding a significant association independent of phylogeny.

This study investigates phage-cyanobacteria interactions in Lake Champlain over a decade, finding that phages share environmental niches with bacteria but exhibit distinct dynamics and co-variation patterns.
