Viral Infections Boost Prokaryotic Biomass Production and Organic C Cycling in Hadal Trench Sediments

Hadal trenches are among the most remote and least explored ecosystems on Earth and can support high benthic microbial standing stocks and activities. However, information on the role of viruses in such ecosystems and their interactions with prokaryotic hosts is very limited. Here, we investigated a...
