🌊Paper announcement! 📣
Viral infections rewire the metabolic makeup of their host and thereby create distinct chemical signatures. Can we use metabolic biomarkers to diagnose infections of algal blooms in the ocean?
Well, take a look at our new article led by Conny Kuhlisch in @pnas.org
>>
The core-resistance genes could serve as potential markers to detect resistant cells during algal blooms. A better understanding of algal resistance mechanisms is key to unraveling the host-virus arms race in the ocean and bloom dynamics. 🌊 >>

📣 We are excited to share our latest paper, led by @taliashaler.bsky.social! We explore the transcriptional basis of #microalgae resistance to #viral_infection and identified a core group of resistance-related genes. >>

In this study, we used #metabolomics to trace #viral infections in #coccolithophore blooms across the Atlantic analyzing data from four cruises including the #TARA Breizh and #TARA Gayoso expeditions.

📣 A new preprint by noashima.bsky.social! 📣 How does ocean warming affect viral infection? Infection of algae by a giant virus is arrested intracellularly under elevated temperature, with the late replication stage blocked. Infection can later resume, revealing a reversible arrest state 🌊
