Phage-prokaryote coexistence strategy mediates microbial community diversity in the intestine and sediment microhabitats of shrimp culture pond ecosystem.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence supports that the phage-prokaryote interaction drives ecological processes in various environments with different phage life strategies. However, the knowledge of phage-prokaryote interaction in the shrimp culture pond ecosystem (SCPE) is still limited. Here, the viral and prokaryotic community profiles at four culture stages in the intestine of Litopenaeus vannamei and cultural sediment microhabitats of SCPE were explored to elucidate the contribution of phage-prokaryote interaction in modulating microbial communities. The results demonstrated that the most abundant viral families in the shrimp intestine and sediment were Microviridae, Circoviridae, Inoviridae, Siphoviridae, Podoviridae, Myoviridae, Parvoviridae, Herelleviridae, Mimiviridae, and Genomoviridae, whi
