Abstract: Algal blooms are important hotspots of primary production in the ocean, forming the basis of the marine food web and fueling the pool of dissolved organic matter (DOM)1, which is the largest global inventory of reduced carbon and a market place for metabolic exchange in the ocean2. Marine viruses are key players in controlling algal bloom demise and act as major biogeochemical drivers of nutrient cycling and metabolic fluxes by shunting algal biomass from higher trophic levels to the DOM pool, a process termed… Show more

“…For example, the collapse of eukaryotic phytoplankton blooms is associated with viruses (2528). The sudden increase of virions during the period of bloom decline suggests that viruses are top-down regulators of phytoplankton populations as well (29, 30). The family Mimiviridae is a major group of large DNA viruses that infect diverse eukaryotes in marine environments (31).…”

“…An example of the indirect interaction between eukaryotic and prokaryotic communities can be seen during algal blooms. The decline of algal blooms is associated with the release of cellular debris and other organic substrates (29), which become important resources for heterotrophic prokaryotes (34). Therefore, we considered that the prokaryotic community serves as a contrasting reference for the comparison of communities between directly interacting eukaryotes and Mimiviridae .…”

“…Dichloroacetate (CHCl 2 -COO – [DCA]) is a naturally occurring compound produced through both biological and geochemical processes ( 1 , 2 ). Marine algae, such as Asparagopsis spp., produce DCA, and algal blooms form extensive halogenated dissolved organic matter (chlorine- and iodine-containing metabolites) ( 3 5 ). Enzymatic chlorination (e.g., chloroperoxidases) results in substantial chlorination of decaying plant and humic materials leading to the formation of DCA ( 6 8 ).…”
