algaeinfecting
algaeinfecting refers to the process by which certain microorganisms, viruses, or other agents infect and colonize algal species. These infectious agents can significantly impact algal populations in both natural and artificial environments. The most common algae-infecting agents include specific viruses known as phycoviruses, bacteria, and fungi that have evolved to target various algal species.
The infection process typically begins with the attachment of the pathogen to the algal cell surface, followed
Research on algae-infecting agents has ecological implications for understanding algal bloom dynamics and food web stability.
The study of algae-infecting agents continues to provide insights into host-pathogen interactions and evolutionary relationships in
