How do the molecular determinants of antiviral resistance shape the dynamic of phytoplankton-virus interaction?
Phytoplankton sustain all marine ecosystems and are key components of the carbon cycle being responsible for ~50% of the global primary production. A major hypothesis to explain their coexistence with highly efficient lytic viruses is antiviral resistance. Although intracellular and extracellular mechanisms have been shown to underly such resistance and while its determinism is commonly…
