EESS Student talk on "Exploratory hunt for viruses uncovers diverse phages in alpine streams"

Streams are lifelines that perfuse Earth’s landscape. Crucially, complex microbial communities organised as biofilms colonise streambeds, drive critical ecological processes, and regulate biogeochemical cycles. While the global impacts of stream biofilms are increasingly recognised, viruses that infect bacteria to propagate – namely bacteriophages (phages) – remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a pioneering effort to isolate and characterise phages from alpine streams.
