As viruses regulate prokaryotic abundance and the carbon cycle by infecting and lysing their
prokaryotic hosts, the volume of infected prokaryotes is an important parameter for …

Viruses infect and kill prokaryotic populations in a density-or frequency-dependent manner
and affect carbon cycling. However, the effects of the stratification transition, including the …

Viruses are ubiquitous and abundant in aquatic systems, yet knowledge of virus–bacteria
interactions in thermally stratified water columns of large lakes is limited. We explored the …

Viruses are the most abundant organisms in aquatic environments. Recent advances of viral
metagenomic have greatly expanded our understanding of aquatic viral communities …

Mono Lake is a large, alkaline, moderately hypersaline lake containing planktonic
prokaryotes and viruses at concentrations that are among the highest reported for natural …

The potential effect that viral lysis has on the cell size distribution of bacterioplankton was
investigated during late summer stratification in Lake Plußsee, Germany. Size-specific …

We have studied the temporal variation in viral abundances and community assemblage in
the eutrophic Lake Loosdrecht through epifluorescence microscopy and pulsed field gel …

We examined the relationship between viruses and co-occurring bacterial communities
across spatiotemporal scale in two contrasting freshwater lakes, namely meromictic Lake …

The goals of this 18 mo field study were to examine temporal changes in viral community
composition in a temperate eutrophic freshwater lake (Lake Matoaka) and to identify …

For aquatic systems, especially freshwaters, there is little data on the long-term (ie,> 6-month
period) and depth-related variability of viruses. In this study, we examined virus-induced …
