Cryptic infection of a giant virus in a unicellular green alga

Latency is a common strategy in a wide range of viral lineages, but its prevalence in giant viruses remains unknown. Here we describe a 617 kbp integrated giant viral element in the model green alga C...

And another Antarctic research paper from the lab, investigating the combined effect of iron input and warming on phytoplankton communities. Well done Charlotte Eich, and Mathijs van Manen! Always nice to collaborate with Rob Middag. doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...

Temperature-enhanced effects of iron on Southern Ocean phytoplankton

Abstract. Iron (Fe) is a key limiting nutrient for Southern Ocean phytoplankton. Input of Fe into the Southern Ocean is projected to change due to global warming, yet the combined effects of a concurr...
