Tunturi virus isolates and metagenome-assembled viral genomes provide insights into the virome of Acidobacteriota in Arctic tundra soils
This study provides acidobacterial virus isolates as laboratory models for future research and adds insights into the diversity of viral communities associated with Acidobacteriota in tundra soils. Predicted virus-host links and viral gene functions suggest various interactions between viruses and their host microorganisms. Largely unknown sequences in the isolates and metagenome-assembled viral genomes highlight a need for more extensive sampling of Arctic soils to better understand viral functions and contributions to ecosystem-wide cycling processes in the Arctic.
