‘Auxiliary’ Virus Protein Preps Food for Soil-Dwelling Bacteria
Proteins from “auxiliary” genes in soil viruses play a role in the carbon cycle and climate, scientists have found.
Direct Detection of Phage-Host Interactions in Soils
Hi-C metagenomics-informed phage-host infection networks detected in soil pre- and post-drying.
Evaluating Factors Shaping Grassland RNA Viral Communities
Despite the widespread presence of RNA viruses in soils, little is known about the relative contributions and interactions of biological and environmental factors shaping the composition of soil RNA viral communities.
Exploring Underground Ecosystems
PNNL scientists discover new soil viruses across different climates.

Water Column Respiration Overlaps Substantially with Whole-Ecosystem Respiration
Across 47 sites in the Yakima River Basin of Washington State, faster oxygen consumption occurred with warmer water, more nutrients, and more suspended solids.
Hidden Molecules Influence the Diversity of Organic Matter
Researchers reveal how uncharacterized molecules affect the diversity and composition of dissolved organic matter in rivers.
