How about a virus attached to bacteria?

Most common organism in oceans harbors a virus in its DNA

The most common organism in the oceans, and possibly on the entire planet, is a family of single-celled marine bacteria called SAR11. These drifting organisms look like tiny jelly beans and have evolved to outcompete other bacteria for scarce resources in the oceans.

We now know that this group of organisms thrives despite – or perhaps because of – the ability to host viruses in their DNA. A study published in May in Nature Microbiology could lead to new understanding of viral survival strategies.

University of Washington oceanographers discovered that the bacteria that dominate seawater, known as Pelagibacter or SAR11, hosts a unique virus. The virus is of a type that spends most of its time dormant in the host’s DNA but occasionally erupts to infect other cells, potentially carrying some of its host’s genetic material along with it.

“Many bacteria have viruses that exist in their genomes. But people had not found them in the ocean’s most abundant organisms,” said co-lead author Robert Morris, a UW associate professor of oceanography. “We suspect it’s probably common, or more common than we thought – we just had never seen it.”

This virus’ two-pronged survival strategy differs from similar ones found in other organisms. The virus lurks in the host’s DNA and gets copied as cells divide, but for reasons still poorly understood, it also replicates and is released from other cells.

The new study shows that as many as 3% of the SAR11 cells can have the virus multiply and split, or lyse, the cell – a much higher percentage than for most viruses that inhabit a host’s genome. This produces a large number of free viruses and could be key to its survival.

“There are 10 times more viruses in the ocean than there are bacteria,” Morris said. “Understanding how those large numbers are maintained is important. How does a virus survive? If you kill your host, how do you find another host before you degrade?”

The study could prompt basic research that could help clarify host-virus interactions in other settings.

“If you study a system in bacteria, that is easier to manipulate, then you can sort out the basic mechanisms,” Morris said. “It’s not too much of a stretch to say it could eventually help in biomedical applications.”

The UW oceanography group had published a previous paper in 2019 looking at how marine phytoplankton, including SAR11, use sulfur. That allowed the researchers to cultivate two new strains of the ocean-dwelling organism and analyze one strain, NP1, with the latest genetic techniques.

Co-lead author Kelsy Cain collected samples off the coast of Oregon during a July 2017 research cruise. She diluted the seawater several times and then used a sulfur-containing substance to grow the samples in the lab – a difficult process, for organisms that prefer to exist in seawater.

The team then sequenced this strain’s DNA at the UW PacBio sequencing center in Seattle.

“In the past we got a full genome, first try,” Morris said. “This one didn’t do that, and it was confusing because it’s a very small genome.”

The researchers found that a virus was complicating the task of sequencing the genome. Then they discovered a virus wasn’t just in that single strain.

“When we went to grow the NP2 control culture, lo and behold, there was another virus. It was surprising how you couldn’t get away from a virus,” said Cain, who graduated in 2019 with a UW bachelor’s in oceanography and now works in a UW research lab.

Cain’s experiments showed that the virus’ switch to replicating and bursting cells is more active when the cells are deprived of nutrients, lysing up to 30% of the host cells. The authors believe that bacterial genes that hitch a ride with the viruses could help other SAR11 maintain their competitive advantage in nutrient-poor conditions.

“We want to understand how that has contributed to the evolution and ecology of life in the oceans,” Morris said.

classic yin/yang

Must mean 30th May 2020. Nice one, classic yin yang indeed. I thought 6D STO were done with crop circles (paraphrasing one of the Cs sessions), so it is curious to see a couple pop up now. Certainly, things are even crazier now than ever before, so perhaps it’s a reminder to go over all the lessons (ie consolidate & utilise knowledge gained thus far) before the realm change/Wave.
 
I will give my 2 cents worth. This original CC is a tracked message. I would say that the creator was using the equipment tracks as the separator for each line. I do not believe that it is read row by row, this is an accumulated statement. You might need to read it as a total image, a bigger message.

I would say that it is showing some form of 4D energy represented in a 3D reality. I say that as this message has depth features in it, all of these smaller features in the laid down crop and the swirling to generate them.

If this is an energy, then what kind of energy could it be? I would expect that this would be something that we are experiencing at this time. Maybe an emotion that is being felt right now. Most likely a composite of all of these.

This to me is an STS oriented message. Possibly a statement of displeasure from some higher STS soul. This was not for the STO audience.

My translation is that this is an indicator showing all of the energies that makes the STS stronger represented in these graphs. Showing raised and folded over crop shows a mix of energies. Raised crop could be one alignment and the laid down crop is the opposing. I would expect that the STS would like to have all one or the other in this representation. This would indicate a wining or loosing environment. Having it intermittent means that they could be failing, and their STS bosses are stating their animosity to this whole situation. This might have the STS aligned in this 3D reality shaking in their boots. There is only one STS soul in charge, and they do not share power. All others below them are nothing but pansies to be walked upon when needed. They still do not see this.

Or they lose as has been prescribed by the C’s. Haiku …

The yin yang symbol again is imprecise- if 6D STO were to create this I would think it would be very clean and sharp - unless it is to signify that energies are currently unbalanced and therefore they are unable to produce a perfect example. I tend to believe this is however man made. Would not be surprised if a peace symbol materializes at some point- it’s all good perhaps our efforts have some effect as well. Can’t hurt to try!
