Hijacking of an autophagy‐like process is critical for the life cycle of a <scp>DNA</scp> virus infecting oceanic algal blooms

Abstract excerpt

Marine photosynthetic microorganisms are the basis of marine food webs and are responsible for nearly 50% of the global primary production. Emiliania huxleyi forms massive oceanic blooms that are routinely terminated by large double-stranded DNA coccolithoviruses. The cellular mechanisms that govern the replication cycle of these giant viruses are largely unknown. We used diverse techniques, including...
