This is a very special week. We’re launching the first episode of our Podovirus podcast! We started this on a whim (I wanted to explore this format, since I love talking to phage people and I love podcasts; and Jan came up with a punny name

Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that up to 19% of SAR11 (Pelagibacterales) cells were phage-infected during a phytoplankton bloom, coinciding with a roughly 90% drop in SAR11 abundance within 5 days. A fraction of infected cells h
