TL;DR: It is found that environmental factors are incomplete predictors of community structure and associations across plankton functional types and phylogenetic groups to be nonrandomly distributed on the network and driven by both local and global patterns.

TL;DR: It is shown that phage-to-bacteria ratios were increased, relative to the adjacent environment, on all mucosal surfaces sampled, ranging from cnidarians to humans, and that this increase in phage abundance is mucus dependent and protects the underlying epithelium from bacterial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities
TL;DR: This review sums up the current understanding of bacteria–phage coevolution both in the laboratory and in nature, and discusses recent findings on both thecoevolutionary process itself and the impact of coev evolution on bacterial phenotype, diversity and interactions with other species (particularly their eukaryotic hosts).
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral dark matter and virus-host interactions resolved from publicly available microbial genomes
TL;DR: These data augment public data sets 10-fold, provide first viral sequences for 13 new bacterial phyla including ecologically abundant phyla, and help taxonomically identify 7–38% of ‘unknown’ sequence space in viromes, illustrating the value of mining viral signal from microbial genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phage Puppet Masters of the Marine Microbial Realm
TL;DR: The ‘royal family model’ is proposed as a hypothesis to describe successional patterns of bacteria and phages over time in marine systems, where despite high richness and significant seasonal differences, only a small number of phages appear to continually dominate a given marine ecosystem.

TL;DR: This framework is used to discuss why the metacommunity concept is useful in modifying existing ecological thinking and illustrate this with a number of both theoretical and empirical examples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional cartography of complex metabolic networks
TL;DR: A methodology is proposed that can find functional modules in complex networks, and classify nodes into universal roles according to their pattern of intra- and inter-module connections, which yields a ‘cartographic representation’ of complex networks.

Marine viruses — major players in the global ecosystem
TL;DR: Viruses are by far the most abundant 'lifeforms' in the oceans and are the reservoir of most of the genetic diversity in the sea, thereby driving the evolution of both host and viral assemblages.

CRISPR/Cas, the Immune System of Bacteria and Archaea
TL;DR: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) form peculiar genetic loci, which provide acquired immunity against viruses and plasmids by targeting nucleic acid in a sequence-specific manner.
