Genomic and transcriptomic insights into complex virus–prokaryote interactions in marine biofilms

Kun Zhou,
Tin Yan Wong,
Lexin Long
et al.

Abstract: Marine biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms that play a crucial ecological role in oceans. Although prokaryotes are the dominant members of these biofilms, little is known about their interactions with viruses. By analysing publicly available and newly sequenced metagenomic data, we identified 2446 virus–prokaryote connections in 84 marine biofilms. Most of these connections were between the bacteriophages in the Uroviricota phylum and the bacteria of Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Bacteroidot… Show more

“…Viruses may play a critical role in biofilms formed on materials, yet their diversity and functional mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. However, existing studies have investigated the interactions between viruses and their hosts within biofilms, expanding our knowledge of viruses in biofilms [23]. Nevertheless, the potential role of viruses in microbe–material interactions is still unclear.…”
