Succession of the coverage of two circular viral genomes across 28 metagenomes derived viromes of surface microlayer (SML), 1-m deep subsurface water (SSW), and sea foam as well as from sea foam filtered onto 0.2 μm membranes, aerosol, and rainwater samples (a). Synteny and functional annotations of the two circular viruses visualized using Easyfig82 and annotated with DRAM-v80. Functional annotations are 1: Bifunctional DNA primase/polymerase, N-terminal [PF09250.12], 2: Sec-independent protein translocase protein (TatC) [PF00902.19], 3: Terminase, 4: Concanavalin A-like lectin/glucanases superfamily [PF13385.7], 5: Phage P22-like portal protein [PF16510.6], 6: Terminase-like family [PF03237.16]; Terminase RNAseH like domain [PF17288.3], 7: C-5 cytosine-specific DNA methylase [PF00145.18], 8: PD-(D/E)XK endonuclease [PF11645.9] (b). Variant analysis of Virus_1 for a sea foam, aerosol and rain sample reveals overlapping nucleotide polymorphisms. Blue and orange arrows indicate overlaps between three and two samples, respectively. For details, please see Supplementary data 5 (c). Venn diagram showing variant overlaps for Virus_1 in different ecosystems as shown in c (d). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
