Coralline algae are an essential element of benthic ecosystems throughout the ocean’s photic zone. Yet, the role of light in shaping the physiology of coralline algae from cold-water, low-light habita
The color of berry skin is an important economic trait of grape, which is determined by the composition and concentration of anthocyanins in the berry skin. However, the anthocyanin accumulation of gr
Phages are typically viewed as very rapidly evolving biological entities. Little is known, however, about whether and how phages can establish long-term genetic stability. We addressed this eco-evolut
The unicellular N2-fixing cyanobacteria UCYN-A live in symbiosis with haptophytes in the Braarudosphaera bigelowii lineage. Maintaining N2-fixing symbioses between two unicellular partners requires ti
Marine viruses are a major driver of phytoplankton mortality and thereby influence biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other nutrients. Phytoplankton-targeting viruses are important components of eco
