Primary source abstract: "Novel applications of molecular genetic techniques have provided good evidence that viral infection can significantly influence the composition and diversity of aquatic microbial communities." |
| Comments |
P.3682 left column 2nd paragraph: "In near coastal water, the bacterial population consists of 10^6 cells per ml distributed over 100 different bacterial host species (primary source). Less than 10^4 cells per ml therefore constitute the average target population for a species-specific phage." |
