Viruses of sulfur oxidizing phototrophs encode genes for pigment, carbon, and sulfur metabolisms
Abstract Viral infections modulate bacterial metabolism and ecology. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that viruses influence the ecology of purple and green sulfur bacteria in anoxic and sulfidic lakes, analogs of euxinic oceans in the geologic past. By screening metagenomes from lake sediments...
