The Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth, plunges nearly 11,000 meters at its lowest point on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Life persists in the deep and cold darkness, and 'wherever there's life, you can bet there are regulators at work,' said marine virologist Min Wang, Ph.D, at the Ocean University of China, in Qingdao. 'Viruses, in this case.'

The newly found phage infects bacteria in the phylum Halomonas, which are often found in sediments from the deep seas and fromWang said the group's analysis of the viral genetic material points to existence of a previously unknown viral family in the, as well as new insights into the diversity, evolution and genomic features of deep-sea phages and phage-host interactions.
In previous work, the researchers have used metagenomic analysis to study viruses that infect bacteria in the order Oceanospirallales, which includes Halomonas. For the new study, Wang's team looked for viruses in bacterial strains collected and isolated by a team led by marine virologist Yu-Zhong Zhang, Ph.D, also at the Ocean University of China, in Qingdao.
