Transcriptome samples of phage-host interactions between the Pelagibacter sp. HTCC7211 and pelagiphage HTVC100P at different time points Raw sequence reads. Candidatus Pelagibacter sp. HTCC7211

SAR11 bacteria are the most dominant microorganisms in marine environments and contribute significantly to global carbon and nutrient cycling. Pelagiphages that infect SAR11 bacteria are potential drivers in structuring the communities, shaping the evolution, and reprograming the metabolism of SAR11. However, interactions between SAR11 and pelagiphages remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the transcriptional profiles of the SAR11 strain, HTCC7211, and the pelagiphage HTVC100P during the lytic infection cycle using RNA-Seq analysis.
