A subset of viruses thrives following microbial resuscitation during rewetting of a seasonally dry California grassland soil

Abstract Viruses are abundant, ubiquitous members of soil communities that kill microbial cells, but how they respond to perturbation of soil ecosystems is essentially unknown. Here, we investigate lineage-specific virus-host dynamics in grassland soil following “wet-up”, when resident microbes are...
