For all virusFISH experiments, an Altivir_1_MSI probe was used for detecting viral infections. White arrows indicate exemplary virus–Altiarchaeota interactions (advanced infections). BF material was analyzed with filter sets for DAPI (blue, cells), ATTO 488 (purple, 16S rRNA signal), and Alexa 594 (yellow, viral genomes), and then the different fluorescent channels were merged for analysis and display purposes. For unmerged imaging data, see Supplementary Figs. 16 and 17. Scale bars: 10 µm.
