The significance of viruses to mortality in aquatic microbial communities
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Estimates of the impact of viruses on microbial mortality suggest that, on average, about 20% of marine heterotrophic bacteria are infected by viruses and 10–20% of the bacterial community is lysed daily by viruses.
