This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Viruses are now unarguably considered essential components of marine ecosystems with regard to their natural abundance and their ecological implications. The interaction of viruses with microaggregates is, however, poorly documented despite the critical implications of microaggregates for the ocean biogeochemistry and the marine optical properties. Thus, the main goal of this project is to shed light on the interactions between viruses and microaggregates. One of the major studies of this project focuses on the impact of viral lysis on the dynamics of microaggregates. This study involves the use of virus  host model systems isolated from the SIO-pier. The expected results will provide novel insights into our understanding of viral ecology and to a larger extend into the functioning of the ocean.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目及 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 就其自然丰度和生态影响而言，病毒现在无疑被认为是海洋生态系统的重要组成部分。然而，尽管微团聚体对海洋生物地球化学和海洋光学特性具有重要影响，但病毒与微团聚体的相互作用却鲜有记录。因此，该项目的主要目标是阐明病毒和微聚集体之间的相互作用。该项目的主要研究之一集中于病毒裂解对微聚集体动力学的影响。这项研究涉及使用从 SIO-pier 分离出来的病毒宿主模型系统。预期的结果将为我们对病毒生态学的理解以及更广泛的海洋功能提供新的见解。
