Twelve lytic viruses (PgV) infecting the marine unicellular eukaryotic harmful algal bloom species Phaeocystis globosa were isolated from the southern North Sea in 2000-2001 and partially characterized. All PgV isolates shared common phenotypic features with other algal viruses belonging to the family Phycodnaviridae and could be categorized in four different groups. Two main groups (PgV Group I and II) were discriminated based on particle size (150 and 100 nm respectively), genome size (466 and 177 kb) and structural protein composition. The lytic cycle showed a latent period of 10 h for PgV Group I and latent periods of 12 h and 16 h for PgV Group IIA and IIB. Host specificity and temperature sensitivity finally defined a fourth group (PgV Group IIC). Our results imply that viral infection plays an important role not only in P. globosa dynamics but also in the diversity of both host and virus community. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
