DESCRIPTION:Bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) have a significant impact o
 n marine prokaryotic mortality\, diversity\, and biogeochemical cycling. 
 They do this by infecting and lysing cells\, which release labile dissolv
 ed organic matter and stimulate the mineralization of inorganic nutrients
 . The sheer abundance of oceanic viruses results in ~1029 viral infection
 s per day\, causing the release of 108–109 tonnes of carbon per day from 
 the biological pool\, which are potentially available for recycling by pr
 okaryotes. Through their actions of cell lysis\, bacteriophages therefore
  play major roles on marine carbon and nutrient cycling. The efficient ba
 cterial mortality caused by marine bacteriophages can also be exploited i
 n disease control. In aquaculture\, antibiotics are currently used to tre
 at bacterial infections\, despite serious concerns about the development 
 of bacterial antibiotic resistance. Application of bacteriophages has bee
 n suggested as a strategy to control disease outbreaks in aquaculture\, w
 e aim at developing novel phage-based strategies for disease prophylaxis 
 and treatment of outbreaks with fish pathogens in aquaculture.In this pre
 sentation\, I will present our work on the role of bacteriophages in driv
 ing marine biogeochemical cycling and discuss the potential and challenge
 s of using bacteriophages for disease control in aquaculture.\n \n \n[b]A
 bout Mathias Middelboe[/b]\nMathias Middelboe is a professor in marine vi
 ral ecology at the Department of Biology\, University of Copenhagen and U
 niversity of Southern Denmark. He earned his PhD in aquatic microbial eco
 logy from the University of Copenhagen in 1994 and established in 1997 a 
 research group with a focus on the role of bacterial viruses (bacteriopha
 ges) in marine environments (water column and sediments). He is especiall
 y interested in exploring how interactions between bacteriophages and bac
 teria drive phage and host diversity and evolution\, and in resolving the
  role of bacteriophages in marine biogeochemical cycling. His research al
 so includes more applied aspects of phage–bacteria interactions\, explori
 ng the potential and challenges of using phages to control pathogenic bac
 teria in aquaculture.\n\n[b]Venue[/b]\nThe DIAS Auditorium\, SDU Campus O
