Viral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms

Algal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production that play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling. Here, the authors show how bloom termination by viral infection can shift the balance between eukaryotic and prokaryotic recyclers of phytoplankton biomass.
