GENE SOUP. “The estimated 10(28) viral infections in the ocean per day substantially affect marine systems by causing host mortality, facilitating horizontal gene transfer and influencing biogeochemical cycles via production of dissolved organic matter through cell lysis. An emerging paradigm is that viruses also possess auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) —‘host’ genes that may be expressed to augment viral-infected host metabolism and facilitate production of new viruses.”
