This project aims to investigate how soil viruses steer key nitrogen cycling microorganisms and processes, by utilising emerging approaches of viromes, DNA-stable-isotope probing, and Raman-spectroscopy-based single-cell-sorting technology. This project expects to generate new knowledge in harnessing the potential of soil viruses to improve fertiliser nitrogen use efficiency through manipulating the biological pathways of nitrogen losses from agricultural ecosystems. Expected outcomes of this project include novel and comprehensive evidence for the roles of soil viruses in controlling terrestrial nitrogen cycling processes. This should provide significant benefits to Australian agriculture and environmental management.

该项目旨在利用病毒组、DNA 稳定同位素探测和基于拉曼光谱的单细胞分选技术等新兴方法，研究土壤病毒如何引导关键的氮循环微生物和过程。该项目期望通过操纵农业生态系统氮流失的生物途径，产生利用土壤病毒潜力提高肥料氮利用效率的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括关于土壤病毒在控制陆地氮循环过程中的作用的新颖且全面的证据。这将为澳大利亚农业和环境管理带来显着效益。
