Abstract Soil viruses are important components of the carbon (C) cycle, yet we still know little about viral ecology in soils. We added diverse 13 C‐labelled sources to soil and used metagenomic‐SIP detect C assimilation by their putative bacterial hosts. These data allowed us link a bacteriophage its Streptomyces host, qPCR track dynamics host phage response inputs. Following addition, numbers increased rapidly for 3 days, then more gradually, reaching maximal abundance on Day 6. Viral virus:host ratio dramatically over 6 remained high thereafter (8.42 ± 2.94). From Days 30, high, while declined than 50%. Putative populations were 3–30, C‐labelling was detected 14 30. This dynamic suggests rapid growth fueled new inputs, followed extensive mortality driven lysis. findings indicate that shunt promotes microbial turnover following thereby altering community dynamics, facilitating organic matter production.

Viruses, as the most prolific entities on Earth, constitute significant ecological groups within freshwater lakes, exerting pivotal roles. In this study, we selected Chaohu Lake, a representative eutrophic lake in China, our research site to explore community distribution, driving mechanisms, and potential functions of diverse viral communities, intricate virus–host interaction systems, overarching influence viruses global biogeochemical cycling.
