| Method |
Primary source abstract: "The interactions between viral abundance and bacterial density, biomass, and production were investigated along a longitudinal transect consisting of nine deep-sea stations encompassing the entire Mediterranean basin." |
| Comments |
P.3678 left column 2nd paragraph: "High concentrations of phages are not restricted to the ocean water. Counts of up to 10^9 phage per gram of marine sediment were recorded with bacterial counts higher than in the waters described above (primary source)." |
