  • Title: Active viral infection during blooms of a dinoflagellate indicates dinoflagellate-viral co-adaptation.
    Author: Wang J, Li L, Lin S.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2023 Nov 29; 89(11):e0115623. PubMed ID: 37874280.
    Abstract:
    This study represents the first that investigates in situ virus infection in dinoflagellate blooms. Our findings reveal highly similar viral assemblages that infected the bloom species Prorocentrum shikokuense and a co-adapted metabolic relationship between the host and the viruses in the blooms, which varied between the prolonged and the short-lived blooms of the same dinoflagellate species. These findings fill the gap in knowledge regarding the identity and behavior of viruses in a dinoflagellate bloom and shed light on what appears to be the complex mode of infection. The novel insight will be potentially valuable for fully understanding and modeling the role of viruses in regulating blooms of dinoflagellates and other algae.
