Scientists aboard Ingus Kruklitis/Shutterstock "KDSP" found nearly 200,000 kinds of marine viruses on a sailboat, which increased the number of known marine viruses from 15 to 15, and recorded 000 kinds in previous surveys. The new investigation of "KDSP" and "KDSP" reveals new details of the distribution of marine viruses in marine ecosystems. "KDSP" and "KDSP" viruses exist on the edge of life. They have no cells, no normal biological processes and no independent reproduction. On the contrary, they are more or less a bag of genetic material, which will bump into living cells and inject genetic instructions into these cells, thus producing more viruses. [Six new discoveries about viruses] But whether viruses are life or not, it is undeniable that they have played an important role in discovering their ecosystems.

Matthew Sullivan, a microbiologist and senior researcher at Ohio State University, said in a statement today (April 25th): "Because they are so numerous, they are really important." "However, marine biologists know little about viruses that live in the ocean." In order to make up for this, scientists launched a worldwide virus search from 2009 to 20 13. They sailed around the poles in a ship named Tara. The researchers were surprised to find that the swaying ocean currents did not mix the virus species well. On the contrary, viruses are roughly divided into five regional categories. Researchers have also found many viruses in the Arctic, but little is known about the local viruses.

This new study will help biologists understand how viruses affect marine ecosystems. In addition, the author also pointed out that the virus may change the way the ocean sucks carbon dioxide from the air into the water. Researchers say that viruses, like any organic matter, are mainly composed of carbon. Sullivan said: "In the past 20 years or so, we have known that half of the oxygen we breathe comes from marine life." In addition, the ocean absorbs half of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which may help enrich the story. On the big screen
