from a manuscript in prep: "Viruses are thought to influence microbial community structure by density-dependent, host-specific infection, which can be strain-specific. Therefore, observations of host and virus dynamics in the environment should benefit from highly-resolving taxonomic characterizations. The T4-like-virus taxa had pronounced day-to-day variation (9 taxa became most abundant over the initial 18 days) in response to the bloom, correlated better to the communities of large or particle-attached prokaryotes than the small and free-living prokaryotes." |
