Combined phosphorus limitation and light stress prevent viral proliferation in the phytoplankton species Phaeocystis globosa, but not in Micromonas pusilla
Under natural conditions phytoplankton are often simultaneously subjected to phosphorus (P) limitation and suboptimal light levels. Potential interacting effects of P-limitation and light availability on phytoplankton virus-host interactions have thus far not been reported. We studied the influence...
