We recently demonstrated that catechin amendment could drastically reduce methane emissions (&gt;80%) in peat microcosms by enriching catechin-degrading prokaryotes that outcompeted methanogens for hydrogen. However, viral contributions to such microbiome-level responses remain unexplored and we hypothesized that viral dynamics could help shape the microbiome response as nutrient amendments may alter cellular physiology in ways that could induce lytic viral activity. Here, we performed virus eco-genomics analyses of the previously-studied time-resolved multi-omics data collected from catechin-amended peat microcosms. We conservatively identified 900 putatively lytic viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs), with 41% predicted to infect active host genomes including the most transcriptionally active vOTUs predicted to infect key catechin-degrading genera (\n                    <jats:italic>Clostridium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and undescribed\n                    <jats:italic>Bacillota<\/jats:italic>\n                    JAGFXR01). Notably, a single JAGFXR01-targeting vOTU dominating the viral response (&gt;40% of community viral transcription; 20\u2013156-fold more abundant than its host), which we interpreted as induction resulting in intense lytic activity that could release catechin degradation intermediates to other community members. Consistent with this, gene expression analysis revealed elevated catechin-intermediate degradation and hydrogenase signals in 34 additional polyphenol-degrading metagenome-assembled genomes. These findings support a model consistent with a viral shunt-like process that extends our previous prokaryote-centric model: viral lysis of fast-growing catechin degraders redistributes phenolic intermediates to diverse phenol-degrading taxa that sustain methane suppression via hydrogen consumption. Beyond carbon cycling importance in this system, elucidating unintended virus-mediated responses to nutrient and prebiotic interventions will enable more predictable and effective microbiome engineering strategies across soil, ocean, and human ecosystems.\n
