This project investigates the interactions between the phytoplankton Emiliania huxleyi and its viruses, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that govern these relationships. It aims to understand how chemical signals influence viral infections and the implications for carbon transport in marine ecosystems.
Emiliania huxleyi is a cosmopolitan phytoplankton belonging to the coccolithophores, eukaryotic phototrophs that dominate the modern oceans.
Coccolithophores are considered to be among the largest producers of calcite on earth, and as such, are a major vehicle for the transport of carbon to the deep sediments.
They are important producer of DMS, a gas thought to strongly influence climate regulation. E.huxleyi forms massive annual blooms in the oceans that are routinely infected and terminated b…
