Bacteriophage from the Sea
A Newly Identified Virus Emerges from the Deep
Marine virologists have discovered a new bacteriophage in the sediment of the Mariana Trench, Earth's deepest point. This phage infects Halomonas bacteria commonly found in extreme deep-sea environments. The study sheds light on the co-evolution of phages and their hosts in isolated, harsh conditions.
