Biological treatment of waterborne viruses through protists' grazing behavior is effective and consistent, regardless of the presence of multiple viruses. The extent of virus removal is correlated with an increase in the protists' swimming speed, indicating a response to the availability of food. The feeding behavior is likely driven by the hydrophobicity of the viruses, rather than their size or the presence of a lipid envelope.
Biological treatment of waterborne viruses, specifically grazing of viruses by protists, can enhance microbial water quality while avoiding the production of toxic byproducts and high energy costs. However, tangible applications are limited by the lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Here, we examined the feeding behavior of Tetrahymena pyriformis ciliates on 13 viruses, including bacteriophages, enteric viruses, and respiratory viruses. Significant differences in virus removal by T. pyriformis were observed, ranging from no removal (Qbeta, coxsackievirus BS) to >= 2.7 log(10) (JC polyomavirus) after 48 h of co-incubation of the protist with the virus. Removal rates were conserved even when protists were co-incubated with multiple viruses simultaneously. Video analysis revealed that the extent of virus removal was correlated with an increase in the protists' swimming speed, a behavioral trait consistent with the protists' response to the availability of food. Protistan feeding may be driven by a virus' hydrophobicity but was independent of virus size or the presence of a lipid envelope.
