Marine viruses are defined by their habitat as

life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.[5]

When not inside a cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent particles called

A teaspoon of seawater typically contains about fifty million viruses.

marine biomass. It is estimated marine viruses kill 20% of the microorganism biomass every day. Viruses are the main agents responsible for the rapid destruction of harmful algal blooms which often kill other marine life. The number of viruses in the oceans decreases further offshore and deeper into the water, where there are fewer host organisms. Viruses are an important natural means of transferring genes between different species, which increases genetic diversity
and drives evolution. It is thought viruses played a central role in early evolution before the diversification of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, at the time of the last universal common ancestor of life on Earth. Viruses are still one of the largest areas of unexplored genetic diversity on Earth.

Further information: introduction to viruses and viral evolution

Viruses are now recognised as ancient and as having origins that pre-date the divergence of life into the

evolutionary history of life are unclear because they do not form fossils. Molecular techniques are used to compare the DNA or RNA of viruses and are a useful means of investigating how they arose.[9] Some viruses may have evolved from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from bacteria. In evolution, viruses are an important means of horizontal gene transfer, which increases genetic diversity.[10]

Opinions differ on whether viruses are a form of life or organic structures that interact with living organisms.[11] They are considered by some to be a life form, because they carry genetic material, reproduce by creating multiple copies of themselves through self-assembly, and evolve through natural selection. However they lack key characteristics such as a cellular structure generally considered necessary to count as life. Because they possess some but not all such qualities, viruses have been described as replicators[12] and as "organisms at the edge of life".[13]

The existence of viruses in the ocean was discovered through

millilitre.[4] Quantification of marine viruses was originally performed using transmission electron microscopy but has been replaced by epifluorescence or flow cytometry.[16]

Bacteriophages

marine bacteria, such as cyanobacteria.[17] They are a diverse group of viruses which are the most abundant biological entity in marine environments, because their hosts, bacteria, are typically the numerically dominant cellular life in the sea. There are up to ten times more phages in the oceans than there are bacteria,[18] reaching levels of 250 million bacteriophages per millilitre of seawater.[19] These viruses infect specific bacteria by binding to surface receptor molecules and then entering the cell. Within a short amount of time, in some cases just minutes, bacterial polymerase starts translating viral mRNA into protein. These proteins go on to become either new virions within the cell, helper proteins, which help assembly of new virions, or proteins involved in cell lysis. Viral enzymes aid in the breakdown of the cell membrane, and there are phages that can replicate three hundred phages twenty minutes after injection.[20]

Process of a phage "landing" on a bacterium
The phage first adheres to the cell surface with its tail parallel to or leaning at an angle to the cell surface in the pre-infection stage. The tail then firmly stands on the cell surface and extends its fibers horizontally, rendering the phage infection-competent, after which viral DNA is released into the cell through an extensible tube.[21]

Bacteria defend themselves from bacteriophages by producing enzymes that destroy foreign DNA. These enzymes, called

acquired immunity to infection.[25]

Cyanophages, viruses that infect cyanobacteria
scale bars: 100 nm
The lytic cycle, the reproductive cycle of the bacteriophage, has six stages:
→ attachment: the phage attaches itself to the surface of the host cell
→ penetration: the phage injects its DNA through the cell membrane
→ transcription: the host cell's DNA is degraded and the cell's metabolism
     is directed to initiate phage biosynthesis
→ biosynthesis: the phage DNA replicates inside the cell
→ maturation: the replicated material assembles into fully formed viral phages
→ lysis: the newly formed phages are released from the infected cell
    (which is itself destroyed in the process) to seek out new host cells [26]

Microbes drive the nutrient transformations that sustain Earth's ecosystems,

oligotrophic and temperate oceans.[29] Hence, viral (cyanophage) infection and lysis of Prochlorococcus represent an important component of the global carbon cycle. In addition to their ecological role in inducing host mortality, cyanophages influence the metabolism and evolution of their hosts by co-opting and exchanging genes, including core photosynthesis genes.[21]

For a long time, tailed phages of the order Caudovirales seemed to dominate marine ecosystems in number and diversity of organisms.[17] However, as a result of more recent research, non-tailed viruses appear to dominate multiple depths and oceanic regions.[31] These non-tailed phages also infect marine bacteria, and include the families Corticoviridae,[32]

Inoviridae,[33]
Microviridae [34] and Autolykiviridae.[35][36][37][38]

As of September 2023, Halomonas phage vB HmeY H4907 is the first virus isolated from the deepest part of the ocean.[39]

Archaeal viruses

Evolution of the virus world: origin of the main lineages from the primordial gene pool
Characteristic images of RNA and protein structures are shown for each postulated stage of evolution, and characteristic virion images are shown for the emerging classes of viruses. Thin arrows show the postulated movement of genetic pools between inorganic compartments. Block arrows show the origin of different classes of viruses at different stages of pre-cellular evolution.[5]

Archaeal viruses

Archaean viruses replicate within

repetitive DNA sequences within archaean genomes that are related to the genes of the viruses.[43][44] Most archaea have CRISPR–Cas systems as an adaptive defence against viruses. These enable archaea to retain sections of viral DNA, which are then used to target and eliminate subsequent infections by the virus using a process similar to RNA interference.[45]

Fungal viruses

fungi. The infection of fungal cells is different from that of animal cells. Fungi have a rigid cell wall made of chitin, so most viruses can get inside these cells only after trauma to the cell wall.[46]

Marine protists

By 2015, about 40 viruses affecting

nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. Evidence was published in 2014 suggesting some strains of Phycodnaviridae might infect humans rather than just algal species, as was previously believed.[52] Most genera under this family enter the host cell by cell receptor endocytosis
and replicate in the nucleus.

coccolithophore

Phycodnaviridae play important ecological roles by regulating the growth and productivity of their algal hosts. Algal species such Heterosigma akashiwo and the genus Chrysochromulina can form dense blooms which can be damaging to fisheries, resulting in losses in the aquaculture industry.[53] Heterosigma akashiwo virus (HaV) has been suggested for use as a microbial agent to prevent the recurrence of toxic red tides produced by this algal species.[54] The coccolithovirus Emiliania huxleyi virus 86, a giant double-stranded DNA virus, infects the ubiquitous coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi.[50][51] This virus has one of the largest known genomes among marine viruses.[55] Phycodnaviridae cause death and lysis of freshwater and marine algal species, liberating organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus into the water, providing nutrients for the microbial loop.[56]

The virus-to-prokaryote ratio, VPR, is often used as an indicator of the relationship between viruses and hosts. Studies have used VPR to indirectly infer virus impact on marine microbial productivity, mortality, and biogeochemical cycling.[57] However, in making these approximations, scientists assume a VPR of 10:1, the median observed VPR in the surface ocean.[57][18] The actual VPR varies greatly depending on location, so VPR may not be the accurate proxy for viral activity or abundance as it has been treated.[57][58]

Marine invertebrates

Virus-host interactions in the marine ecosystem,
including viral infection of bacteria, phytoplankton and fish[59]

Marine invertebrates are susceptible to viral diseases.[60][61][62] Sea star wasting disease is a disease of starfish and several other echinoderms that appears sporadically, causing mass mortality of those affected.[63] There are around 40 different species of sea stars that have been affected by this disease. In 2014 it was suggested that the disease is associated with a single-stranded DNA virus now known as the sea star-associated densovirus (SSaDV); however, sea star wasting disease is not fully understood.[64]

Marine vertebrates

rhabdoviruses, which are distinct from, but related to rabies virus. At least nine types of rhabdovirus cause economically important diseases in species including salmon, pike, perch, sea bass, carp and cod. The symptoms include anaemia, bleeding, lethargy and a mortality rate that is affected by the temperature of the water. In hatcheries the diseases are often controlled by increasing the temperature to 15–18 °C.[65]: 442–443  Like all vertebrates, fish suffer from herpes viruses. These ancient viruses have co-evolved with their hosts and are highly species-specific.[65]: 324  In fish, they cause cancerous tumours and non-cancerous growths called hyperplasia.[65]
: 325 

In 1984,

infectious salmon anemia (ISAv) was discovered in Norway in an Atlantic salmon hatchery. Eighty per cent of the fish in the outbreak died. ISAv, a viral disease, is now a major threat to the viability of Atlantic salmon farming.[66] As the name implies, it causes severe anemia of infected fish. Unlike mammals, the red blood cells of fish have DNA and can become infected with viruses. Management strategies include developing a vaccine and improving genetic resistance to the disease.[67]

parvoviruses, circulate in marine mammal populations.[69]

Giant marine viruses

Most viruses range in length from about 20 to 300 nanometers. This can be contrasted with the length of bacteria, which starts at about 400 nanometers. There are also giant viruses, often called giruses, typically about 1000 nanometers (one micron) in length. All giant viruses belong to the phylum Nucleocytoviricota (NCLDV), together with poxviruses. The largest known of these is Tupanvirus. This genus of giant virus was discovered in 2018 in the deep ocean as well as a soda lake, and can reach up to 2.3 microns in total length.[70]

The largest known virus, Tupanvirus, named after Tupã, the Guarani supreme god of creation

The discovery and subsequent characterization of giant viruses has triggered some debate concerning their evolutionary origins. The two main hypotheses for their origin are that either they evolved from small viruses, picking up DNA from host organisms, or that they evolved from very complicated organisms into the current form which is not self-sufficient for reproduction.[72] What sort of complicated organism giant viruses might have diverged from is also a topic of debate. One proposal is that the origin point actually represents a fourth domain of life,[73][74] but this has been largely discounted.[75][76]

Virophages

Further information:
Virophages

Virophages are small, double-stranded DNA viruses that rely on the co-infection of giant viruses. Virophages rely on the viral replication factory of the co-infecting giant virus for their own replication. One of the characteristics of virophages is that they have a parasitic relationship with the co-infecting virus. Their dependence upon the giant virus for replication often results in the deactivation of the giant viruses. The virophage may improve the recovery and survival of the host organism. Unlike other satellite viruses, virophages have a parasitic effect on their co-infecting virus. Virophages have been observed to render a giant virus inactive and thereby improve the condition of the host organism.

All known virophages are grouped into the family

Lavidaviridae (from "large virus dependent or associated" + -viridae).[77] The first virophage was discovered in a cooling tower in Paris in 2008. It was discovered with its co-infecting giant virus, Acanthamoeba castellanii mamavirus (ACMV). The virophage was named Sputnik and its replication relied entirely on the co-infection of ACMV and its cytoplasmic replication machinery. Sputnik was also discovered to have an inhibitory effect on ACMV and improved the survival of the host. Other characterised virophages include Sputnik 2, Sputnik 3, Zamilon and Mavirus.[78][79]

Most of these virophages were discovered by analyzing metagenomic data sets. In metagenomic analysis, DNA sequences are run through multiple bioinformatic algorithms which pull out certain important patterns and characteristics. In these data sets are giant viruses and virophages. They are separated by looking for sequences around 17 to 20 kbp long which have similarities to already sequenced virophages. These virophages can have linear or circular double-stranded DNA genomes.[80] Virophages in culture have icosahedral capsid particles that measure around 40 to 80 nanometers long.[81] Virophage particles are so small that electron microscopy must be used to view these particles. Metagenomic sequence-based analyses have been used to predict around 57 complete and partial virophage genomes[82] and in December 2019 to identify 328 high-quality (complete or near-complete) genomes from diverse habitats including the human gut, plant rhizosphere, and terrestrial subsurface, from 27 distinct taxonomic clades.[83]

Role of marine viruses

Although marine viruses have only recently been studied extensively, they are already known to hold critical roles in many ecosystem functions and cycles.

The dominant hosts for viruses in the ocean are marine microorganisms, such as bacteria.

foodchain in aquatic environments.[92] They infect and destroy bacteria in aquatic microbial communities, and are one of the most important mechanisms of recycling carbon and nutrient cycling in marine environments. The organic molecules released from the dead bacterial cells stimulate fresh bacterial and algal growth, in a process known as the viral shunt.[93]

In this way, marine viruses are thought to play an important role in nutrient cycles by increasing the efficiency of the

nucleic acids
, which tend to be recycled near the surface.

Viral activity also enhances the ability of the biological pump to

gigatonnes of carbon per year.[69] Lysis of bacteria by viruses has been shown to also enhance nitrogen cycling and stimulate phytoplankton growth.[96]

dissolved organic matter (DOM), which can be readily taken up by microorganisms. Viral shunting helps maintain diversity within the microbial ecosystem by preventing a single species of marine microbe from dominating the micro-environment.[97] The DOM recycled by the viral shunt pathway is comparable to the amount generated by the other main sources of marine DOM.[98]

cell lysis. There is evidence as well of nitrogen (specifically ammonium) regeneration. This nutrient recycling helps stimulates microbial growth.[102] As much as 25% of the primary production from phytoplankton in the global oceans may be recycled within the microbial loop through viral shunting.[103]

Limiting algal blooms

Microorganisms make up about 70% of the marine biomass.[104] It is estimated viruses kill 20% of the microorganism biomass each day and that there are 15 times as many viruses in the oceans as there are bacteria and archaea. Viruses are the main agents responsible for the rapid destruction of harmful algal blooms,[105] which often kill other marine life.[106] Scientists are exploring the potential of marine cyanophages to be used to prevent or reverse eutrophication. The number of viruses in the oceans decreases further offshore and deeper into the water, where there are fewer host organisms.[107]

Gene transfer

Marine bacteriophages often contain auxiliary metabolic genes, host-derived genes thought to sustain viral replication by supplementing host metabolism during viral infection.[108]  These genes can impact multiple biogeochemical cycles, including carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen.[109][110][111][112]

Viruses are an important natural means of

last universal common ancestor of life on Earth.[113] Viruses are still one of the largest reservoirs of unexplored genetic diversity on Earth.[107]

Marine habitats

Along the coast

See also:
Mangrove virome

Marine coastal habitats sit at the interface between the land and the ocean. It is likely that RNA viruses play significant roles in these environments.[114]

At the ocean surface

Viral–bacterial dynamics in the surface microlayer (SML) of the ocean and beyond. DOM = dissolved organic matter, UV = ultraviolet.[115]
See also: Sea surface microlayer

virioneuston, have recently become of interest to researchers as enigmatic biological entities in the boundary surface layers with potentially important ecological impacts. Given this vast air–water interface sits at the intersection of major air–water exchange processes spanning more than 70% of the global surface area, it is likely to have profound implications for marine biogeochemical cycles, on the microbial loop and gas exchange, as well as the marine food web structure, the global dispersal of airborne viruses originating from the sea surface microlayer, and human health.[115]

In the water column

Marine viral activity presents a potential explanation of the paradox of the plankton proposed by George Hutchinson in 1961.[116] The paradox of the plankton is that many plankton species have been identified in small regions in the ocean where limited resources should create competitive exclusion, limiting the number of coexisting species.[116] Marine viruses could play a role in this effect, as viral infection increases as potential contact with hosts increases.[4] Viruses could therefore control the populations of plankton species that grow too abundant, allowing a wide diversity of species to coexist.[4]

In sediments

See also:
marine sediments

Marine bacteriophages play an important role in deep sea ecosystems. There are between 5x1012 and 1x1013 phages per square metre in deep sea sediments and their abundance closely correlates with the number of prokaryotes found in the sediments. They are responsible for the death of 80% of the prokaryotes found in the sediments, and almost all of these deaths are caused by cell lysis (bursting). This allows nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus from the living cells to be converted into dissolved organic matter and detritus, contributing to the high rate of nutrient turnover in deep sea sediments. Because of the importance of deep sea sediments in biogeochemical cycles, marine bacteriophages influence the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. More research needs to be done to more precisely elucidate these influences.[117]

In hydrothermal vents

Further information:
hydrothermal vent microbial community

deep-sea hydrothermal viruses affect abundance and diversity of prokaryotes and therefore impact microbial biogeochemical cycling by lysing their hosts to replicate.[121] However, in contrast to their role as a source of mortality and population control, viruses have also been postulated to enhance survival of prokaryotes in extreme environments, acting as reservoirs of genetic information. The interactions of the virosphere with microorganisms under environmental stresses is therefore thought to aide microorganism survival through dispersal of host genes through horizontal gene transfer.[122]

Polar regions

Further information: Marine food web § Polar microorganisms

In addition to varied topographies and in spite of an extremely cold climate, the polar aquatic regions are teeming with

biogeochemical cycling of nutrients that, in turn, impact community dynamics at seasonal and spatial scales.[123] The polar regions are characterised by truncated food webs, and the role of viruses in ecosystem function is likely to be even greater than elsewhere in the marine food web, yet their diversity is still relatively under-explored, and the way in which they affect polar communities is not well understood,[124] particularly in nutrient cycling.[125][126][127][123]

Distribution

Viruses are highly host specific.[128] A marine virus is more likely to infect cooccurring organisms, those that live in the same region the virus lives in.[129] Therefore, biogeography is an important factor in a virion's ability to infect.

Knowledge of this variation in viral populations across spatiotemporal and other environmental gradients is supported by viral morphology, as determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).  Non-tailed viruses appear to be dominant in multiple depths and oceanic regions, followed by the Caudovirales

Inoviridae[131] and Microviridae[132] are also known to infect diverse marine bacteria. Metagenomic evidence suggests that microviruses (icosahedral ssDNA phages) are particularly prevalent in marine habitats.[132]

Metagenomic approaches to assess viral diversity are often limited by a lack of reference sequences, leaving many sequences unannotated.[133]  However, viral contigs are generated through direct sequencing of a viral fraction, typically generated after 0.02-um filtration of a marine water sample, or through bioinformatics approaches to identify viral contigs or viral genomes from a microbial metagenome.  Novel tools to identify putative viral contigs, such as VirSorter[134] and VirFinder,[135] allow for the assessment of patterns of viral abundance, host range, and functional content of marine bacteriophage.[136][137]
