Background Book for Meeting PRESIDENT: Dr. Marie-Alexandrine Sicre SECRETARY: Dr. Corina Brussaard EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Dr. Edward R. Urban Jr. Secretariat: College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment 003 Robinson Hall University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716 USA MEMORANDUM TO: Attendees, 2017 SCOR Annual Meeting FROM: Ed Urban, SCOR Executive Director RE: Background Book for Meeting DATE: 4 August 2017 I am pleased to enclose the background book for the upcoming SCOR Annual Meeting in Cape Town, South Africa. I hope that you have a chance to read it before the meeting, although I know that the time is limited and the background materials are extensive. Please be sure to review the annotated agenda following. I have tried to identify the actions that we need to consider at the meeting and have cross-referenced the agenda items to the pages where relevant background information can be found, so we can make the best use of our time together. Please skim the remainder of the book and focus on those sections that are most closely related to your interests and responsibilities. I hope that the book also will be a useful reference to you between SCOR meetings. The background book is also available on the Web, at http://scor- int.org/Annual%20Meetings/2017EC/SCOR_EC_2017.htm. We will not be able to bring extra background books to the meeting, so please bring your copy if you requested one. Please let me know if you think other items should be made available to participants at the meeting. I look forward to seeing each of you in Cape Town next month.

  • Pioneering Soil Viromics to Elucidate Viral Impacts on Soil Ecosystem Services
    Pioneering Soil Viromics to Elucidate Viral Impacts on Soil Ecosystem Services DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gareth Trubl Graduate Program in Microbiology The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Virginia Rich, Advisor Matthew Sullivan, Co-Advisor Kelly Wrighton Matthew Anderson Copyrighted by Gareth Trubl 2018 Abstract Permafrost contains 30–50% of global soil carbon (C) and is rapidly thawing. While the fate of this C is unknown, it will be shaped in part by microbes and their associated viruses, which modulate microbial activities via mortality and metabolic control. To date, viral research in soils has been outpaced by that in aquatic environments due to the technical challenges of accessing soil viruses, compounded by the dramatic physicochemical heterogeneity in soils. The Stordalen Mire long-term ecological field site in Arctic Sweden encompasses a mosaic of natural permafrost thaw stages, and has been well characterized biogeochemically and microbiologically, making it an ideal site to characterize the soil virosphere and its potential impacts on the C cycle. A viral resuspension protocol was developed to generate quantitatively- amplified dsDNA viromes. The protocol yielded ~108 virus-like particles (VLPs) g−1 of soil across three thaw-stage habitats, and seven resulting viromes yielded 53 vOTUs. Viral-specific bioinformatics methods were used to recover viral populations, define their gene content, connect them to other related viruses (globally) and potential hosts (locally). Only 15% of these vOTUs had genetic similarity to publicly available viruses in the RefSeq database, and ∼30% of the genes could be annotated, supporting the concept of soils as reservoirs of substantial undescribed viral genetic diversity.

  • Virally Induced Mortality of Phaeocystis Globosa During Two Spring Blooms in Temperate Coastal Waters
    AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Vol. 44: 207–217, 2006 Published October 10 Aquat Microb Ecol Virally induced mortality of Phaeocystis globosa during two spring blooms in temperate coastal waters Anne-Claire Baudoux, Anna A. M. Noordeloos, Marcel J. W. Veldhuis, Corina P. D. Brussaard* Department of Biological Oceanography, Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, PO Box 59, 1790 AB Den Burg, The Netherlands ABSTRACT: This study reports virally mediated mortality rates of Phaeocystis globosa single cells in the southern North Sea during 2 consecutive spring blooms (2003 and 2004). An adapted dilution method was used to estimate viral lysis and microzooplankton grazing simultaneously. Parallel dilu- tion experiments were performed with 30 kDa ultrafiltrate (virus and grazer-free diluent) and 0.2 µm filtered seawater (grazer-free, but virus-containing diluent). Specific viral lysis rates were calculated from the difference in P. globosa growth rates between the 2 dilution series after 24 h incubation under natural conditions. The validity of this method was tested using a culture of P. globosa infected with a known P. globosa virus (PgV). The field data show that virally induced mortality can be a sub- stantial loss factor for P. globosa single cells (up to 0.35 d–1), comparable to that due to microzoo- plankton grazing (up to 0.4 d–1). Viral lysis was the major cause of total P. globosa cell lysis. Assum- ing no loss due to sinking, viral lysis accounted for 5 to 66% of the total mortality of P. globosa single cells. Viral lysis and total putative PgV abundance increased concomitantly with abundance of P.

For the model haptophyte, Emiliania huxleyi, it has been shown that large dsDNA viruses play an important role in regulating blooms and therefore biogeochemical cycling, but much less work has been done looking at viruses that infect P. parvum, or the role that these viruses may play in regulating harmful algal blooms. In this study, we report the isolation and characterization of a lytic nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) collected from the site of a harmful P. parvum bloom.

Brussaard1 Received: 6 December 2018 / Revised: 4 July 2019 / Accepted: 28 August 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Climate change at the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is predicted to cause major changes in phytoplankton community composition, however, detailed seasonal feld data remain limited and it is largely unknown how (changes in) environmental factors infuence cell size and ecosystem function. Physicochemical drivers of phytoplankton community abundance, taxo- nomic composition and size class were studied over two productive austral seasons in the coastal waters of the climatically sensitive WAP. Ice type (fast, grease, pack or brash ice) was important in structuring the pre-bloom phytoplankton community as well as cell size of the summer phytoplankton bloom. Maximum biomass accumulation was regulated by light and nutrient availability, which in turn were regulated by wind-driven mixing events. The proportion of larger-sized (> 20 µm) diatoms increased under prolonged summer stratifcation in combination with frequent and moderate-strength wind-induced mixing. Canonical correspondence analysis showed that relatively high temperature was correlated with nano-sized cryptophytes, whereas prymnesiophytes (Phaeocystis antarctica) increased in association with high irradiance and low salinities. During autumn of Season 1, a large bloom of 4.5-µm-sized diatoms occurred under conditions of seawater temperature > 0 °C and relatively high light and phosphate concentrations.

Dezember 2012 Summary Viruses are the most abundant entities in the ocean and represent a large portion of ‘lifes’ genetic diversity. As mortality agents, viruses catalyze transformations of particulate matter to dissolved forms. This viral catalytic activity may influence the microbial community structure and affect the flow of critical elements in the sea. However, the extent to which viruses mediate bacterial diversity and biogeochemical processes is poorly studied. The current thesis, using a single cell approach, provides rare and novel insights in to how viral infections of algae influence host carbon assimilation. Furthermore this thesis details how cell lysis by viruses regulates the temporal bacterial community structure and their subsequent uptake of algal viral lysates. Chapter 2 shows how viruses impair the release of the star-like structures of virally infected Phaeocystis globosa cells. The independent application of high resolution single cells techniques using atomic force microscopy (AFM) visualized the unique host morphological feature due to viral infection and nanoSIMS imaging quantified the impact of viral infection on the host carbon assimilation. Prior to cell lysis, substantial amounts of newly produced viruses (~ 68%) were attached to P. globosa cells. The hypothesis that impediment of star-like structures in infected P.
