A NOVEL VIRUS (HaNIV) CAUSES LYSIS OF THE TOXIC BLOOM‐FORMING ALGA <i>HETEROSIGMA AKASHIWO</i> (RAPHIDOPHYCEAE)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe a previously unknown virus that causes lysis of the toxic bloom‐forming alga Heterosigma akashiwo (Hada) Hara et Chihara (Raphidophyceae). Heterosigma akashiwo nuclear inclusion virus (HaNIV) does not resemble other algal viruses described to date. HaNIV is small (ca. 30 nm diameter), is assembled in the nucleus, and forms crystalline arrays. We estimate that approximately 10 5 HaNIV particles are released during lysis of a cell. During a time‐course experiment, TEM revealed the first signs of HaNIV infection 24 h after viral addition, and by 74 h 98% of observed cells were visibly infected. The onset of cell lysis, as indicated by a decrease in the relative fluorescence of the cultures, was apparent by 42 h postinfection. The heterochromatin of infected cells is frequently found at the margin of the nucleoplasm, which is consistent with virus‐mediated programmed cell death, or apoptosis. HaNIV is clearly different from other described viruses that infect algae, including other viral pathogens of H. akashiwo. These results indicate that viruses other than Phycodnaviridae are pathogens and cause mortality of microalgae in marine systems. It is likely that HaNIV plays an integral role in the population dynamics of H. akashiwo.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
