TL;DR: These findings reveal viral infection as a previously unrecognized ecosystem process enhancing biological pump efficiency and a coupling between viral infection of an Emiliania huxleyi bloom and the export of organic and inorganic carbon from the photic zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of transparent exopolymer particle production and aggregation during viral infection of the coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi.

TL;DR: Significant increases in TEP are shown during early phase EhV207-infection of calcifying strains and a shift towards large aggregates following EhV99B1- Infection, suggesting that other exopolymer substances contribute towards aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical diversity of glycosphingolipid biosynthesis as a driver of Coccolithovirus competitive ecology

TL;DR: The authors' lab-, field- and mathematical model-based data and simulations support ecological scenarios whereby slow-infecting, less-virulent EhVs successfully compete in North Atlantic populations of E. huxleyi, through either the preferential removal of fast- infecting, virulent EhV during active infection or by having access to a broader host range.
