Scientists have uncovered over 200 new giant viruses lurking in ocean waters that not only help shape marine ecosystems but ...

May 29, 2025 — Researchers have identified a previously unknown species of unicellular organism in seawater collected near Hachijojima Island. The newly discovered species, named Viscidocauda ...

“There have been some studies for a while now indicating that viruses can be consumed by unicellular organisms [occasionally], but I had not seen any study before showing that they could be a ...

Giant viruses play a role in the survival of single-celled marine organisms called protists. These include algae, amoeba, and ...

Giant viruses might not be visible to the naked eye, but their presence in oceans could shape the future of marine ecosystems ...

“Dead zones” are deadly: Few or no organisms can survive in their oxygen-depleted, or hypoxic, waters. Often encompassing large swaths of ocean (and even lakes and ponds), dead zones become ...

Researchers at University of Miami have uncovered how ocean viruses hijack photosynthesis, shaping marine ecosystems and global carbon cycles.

The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants.
