GLOBAL ROLES. “Bacteria are often referred to as the engines that drive nutrient cycles in the marine environment. They do this by catalyzing key processes such as CO2 fixation, organic matter recycling, conversion of nitrogen, and removal of toxic hydrogen sulfide. To extend the analogy, viruses may be the mechanics who tinker with the efficiency of these engines by shuttling metabolic genes between bacterial host cells.”
