Benchmarking informatics approaches for virus discovery: caution is needed when combining in silico identification methods
Understanding the ecological impacts of viruses on natural and engineered ecosystems relies on the accurate identification of viral sequences from community sequencing data. To maximize viral recovery from metagenomes, researchers frequently combine viral ...
Washington2024What happens to biomass burning-emitted particles in the ocean? A laboratory experimental approach based on their tracers
Wildfires, controlled burns, and biofuel combustion (biomass burning or BB) are major contributors to particulate matter in the atmosphere and thus have an impact on climate, human health, and ecosystems. Once emitted, the particulate matter derived from B ...
Amsterdam2023Aerosol pH is an overlooked driver of airborne influenza and coronavirus inactivation
The current pandemic has added to the growing evidence that respiratory viruses can be transmitted by the airborne route. Non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mask wearing or ventilation, aim to reduce the public health burden of respiratory diseases ...
2023Expiratory Aerosol pH is a Driver of the Persistence of Airborne Influenza A Virus
To mitigate the spread of a viral disease, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence airborne virus transmission. However, the micro-environment to which the virus is exposed in expiratory aerosol particles is highly complex. The relative humi ...
SWISS CHEMICAL SOC2023Viral diversity is linked to bacterial community composition in alpine stream biofilms
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Meriem Bekliz
Biofilms play pivotal roles in fluvial ecosystems, yet virtually nothing is known about viruses in these communities. Leveraging an optimized sample-to-sequence pipeline, we studied the spatiotemporal turnover of dsDNA viruses associated with stream biofil ...
Springer2022Soil protist function varies with elevation in the Swiss Alps
Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Edward Mitchell, Enrique Lara, Aline Buri
Protists are abundant and play key trophic functions in soil. Documenting how their trophic contributions vary across large environmental gradients is essential to understand and predict how biogeochemical cycles will be impacted by global changes. Here, u ...
