Ecological Role of the Heterotrophic Protist Aurantiochytrium (Labyrinthulomycetes) as a Key Consumer of Viral-Induced Dissolved Organic Matter Following the Lysis of the Red Tide-forming Microalga Heterosigma akashiwo

Shuhe Chen, Miho Aoki, Keishiro Sano…·Takashi Yoshida

This study shows that Aurantiochytrium, a heterotrophic protist, thrives on viral-induced dissolved organic matter from virus-infected Heterosigma akashiwo, highlighting its role in carbon cycling after algal blooms collapse.
