Enhanced Viral Activity in the Surface Microlayer of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans

Enhanced Viral Activity in the Surface Microlayer of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans

The ocean surface microlayer (SML), with physicochemical characteristics different from those of subsurface waters (SSW), results in dense and active viral and microbial communities that may favor virus–host interactions. Conversely, wind speed and/or UV radiation could adversely affect virus infect...
