Giant viruses invade single-celled algae - vital to Earth's oxygen supply. Prof. Assaf Vardiโ€™s team developed a new method to track algae infected by these microbial giants, with hope to better understand their impact on the ecosystem >> bit.ly/giant-virus-Eng @VardiLab @amir_fromm

Being on a ship and collecting samples is not everything Constanze Kuhlisch from the @WeizmannScience (former @PohnertL, now @vardilab) likes about being a marine microbiologist. Read the interview with our editor @TobiasGoris below nature.com/articles/s42003-0โ€ฆ

So, we started from a natural sample, went down to the individual cells, and back to the population level. We believe that this method can help pair viruses with their native host and identify co-occurring viral infections in the natural environment (9/10)
