Effect of metals on the lytic cycle of the coccolithovirus, EhV86.

Effect of metals on the lytic cycle of the coccolithovirus, EhV86.

In this study we show that metals, and in particular copper (Cu), can disrupt the lytic cycle in the Emiliania huxleyi - EhV86 host-virus system. Numbers of virus particles produced per E. huxleyi cell and E. huxleyi lysis rates were reduced by Cu at total metal concentrations over 500 nM in the pre...
