Abstract

The potential for viral lysis of marine bacteria in seawater enriched with the virus size fraction from seawater was investigated in seawater samples from Long Island Sound, the E Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. A dominant bacterial mortality agent in the seawater concentrate was bacteriophage, although the authors could not rule out an effect of high molecular weight proteins. -from Authors
