New paper led by graduate student Petra Byl introducing a virus that infects a marine alga. The virus has a very unusual morphology and carries a gene related to those coding for light-sensitive proteins called proteorhodopsins, that it appears to have acquired from a bacterium. Link to paper
New paper led by graduate student Andrian Gajigan that describes the phytoplankton and giant viruses in an area of intensive fish mariculture in the Philippines. Link to paper
