This study identifies viral Shemin pathway genes in bacteriophages that can functionally complement bacterial 5-ALA biosynthesis pathways.

The paper isolates and characterizes a virophage PgVV-14T that co-infects Phaeocystis globosa with PgV-14T, showing it integrates into the host genome and bridges the gap between Polinton-like viruses and virophages.

This study compares photoacclimation and microbiome shifts in two Caribbean coral species transplanted across depths, finding differential survival and microbial community responses.

This study examines how degraded water optical properties affect light availability and photosynthetic energy in corals, leading to mortality and habitat contraction in Orbicella faveolata.

This paper describes a functional assay using a chimeric rhodopsin vector to detect proteorhodopsins without sequencing, enabling rapid visual results in marine microbiology courses.

This study identifies and characterizes cyanophage-encoded lipid desaturases, revealing their oceanic distribution, diversity, and role in modulating host membrane fluidity and photoprotection.
