Determinants of community structure in the global plankton interactome (2015, background): “The former include environmental conditions and nutrient availability (5), whereas the latter include grazing, pathogenicity, and parasitism (6, 7).”
Cyanobacteria: A Precious Bio-resource in Agriculture, Ecosystem, and Environmental Sustainability (2016, unknown): “Among these, about 25% of the total global photosynthesis can be accounted for by only two eﬃcient marine cyanobacterial genera, Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus (Rohwer and Thurber, 2009).”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, background): “…dealt with disease processes, there is now a growing literature on the importance of viruses to the global environment (Suttle 2007; Brussaard et al. 2008; Rohwer and Thurber 2009; Danovaro et al. 2011; Weitz and Wilhelm 2012) and the health of all organisms (Shen 2009; Rohwer and Youle 2011).”

Viruses in aquatic ecosystems: important advancements of the last 20 years and prospects for the future in the field of microbial oceanography and limnology (2010, background): “Rohwer and Vega Thurber [21] estimated that as many as 10(24) genes are moved by transduction from virus to host each year in the world’s oceans.”
Antibiotics and the gut microbiota. (2014, unknown): “Phage, another means for gene transfer, can have a profound influence on the lifestyles of environmental microbes (47), and early analyses of viral interactions in the gut show that phages may similarly affect the indigenous microbiota.”
ACLAME: A CLAssification of Mobile genetic Elements, update 2010 (2009, background): “Although still fragmentary, our present view of the bacterial population dynamics derived from analysis of environmental samples supports the idea that MGEs are acting as a powerful evolutionary engine and regulator on such populations (2).”
