Deskripsi

The biogeography of viral communities in extreme environments remains understudied. Here, the authors use metagenomic sequencing on 90 acid mine drainage sediments sampled across Southern China, showing the predominant effects of prokaryotic communities and the influence of environmental variables on viral taxonomy and function.
