Abstract Sustained observations of microbial dynamics are rare, especially in southern hemisphere waters. The Australian Marine Microbial Biodiversity Initiative (AMMBI) provides methodologically standardized, continental scale, temporal phylogenetic amplicon sequencing data describing Bacteria , Archaea and Eukarya assemblages. Sequence is linked to extensive physical, biological chemical oceanographic contextual information. Samples collected monthly seasonally from multiple depths at...
Virus- and bacteriophage-induced mortality can have a significant impact on marine productivity alter the flux of nutrients in microbial food-webs. Viral mediated horizontal gene transfer also influence host fitness community composition. However, there are very few studies viral diversity Southern Hemisphere, which hampers our ability to fully understand complex interplay biotic abiotic factors that shape communities. We carried out first genetic study bacteriophage communities within...
