病毒是在海洋的生态系统的最丰富的生物实体。他们中的大多数是感染细菌和 archaea 的噬菌体。噬菌体在引起原核生物的房间的死亡起重要作用,组织微生物引起的社区,调停在不同微生物之间的水平基因转移,影响微生物引起的食物网过程,和支持的 biogeochemical 骑车(例如 C, N,等等) 在海洋。这里,我们提供了最近的进展的概述在在在海洋的微生物和他们的噬菌体之间的相互作用上研究,并且基于我们文学和我们的自己的工作的理解建议未来研究方向。
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in marine ecosystems. Most of them are phages that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages play important roles in causing the mortality of prokaryotic cells, structuring microbial communities, mediating horizontal gene transfer between different microbes, influencing the microbial food web process, and promoting biogeochemical cycles (such as C, N, etc.) in the ocean. Here we provided an overview of recent advances in research on the interactions between marine microorganisms and their phages, and suggest future research directions based on our understanding of the literature and our own work.
