New Giant Viruses Discovered in Oceans Threaten Oxygen Production

Scientists found hundreds of new giant viruses in the ocean!

These viruses are bigger than usual.

They attack tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton, which make most of the air we breathe.

The viruses can take over how the plants work.

The scientists are hoping to understand the viruses to manage environmental issues, like harmful algae blooms.

The study was published in a science journal.
