Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, background): “The majority of these viruses are bacteriophages, and with respect to cyanobacteria, most of our knowledge of cyanophages has come from marine environments [9].”
Microbial biogeography: putting microorganisms on the map (2006, neutral): “We do not consider the question of whether viruses have biogeography, as their biology adds further complications and, in most cases, far less is known about their distribution than that of other microorganisms (for a recent discussion see Ref”
VirFinder: a novel k-mer based tool for identifying viral sequences from assembled metagenomic data (2017, background): “Viruses are the most abundant biological entities with more than 10 31 particles on Earth, most of which are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea (prokaryotes) [1].”
Ecology of viruses in soils: Past, present and future perspectives (2008, background): “Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, with an estimated total population size of > 10 30 viruses in the ocean alone ( Breitbart and Rohwer 2005 ; Suttle 2005 ).”
Viriobenthos in freshwater and marine sediments : a review (2008, background): “Both culturing and molecular studies indicate that viral populations can move over large distances and occur in vastly different environmental conditions (Breitbart & Rohwer, 2005).”
The ancient Virus World and evolution of cells (2006, background): “Recent environmental studies have shown that viruses, primarily, bacteriophages, are "most abundant biological entities on the planet" [2], with the total number of virus particles exceeding the number of cells by at least an order of magnitude [3,4].”
Bacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities (2014, background): “The wealth of literature describing bacterial and phage diversity in nature (reviewed in Weinbauer, 2004; Breitbart & Rohwer, 2005; Clokie et al., 2011) is suggestive of on-going coevolutionary dynamics, but the role of coevolution relative to other factors such as dispersal or selection by the…”
VIBRANT: automated recovery, annotation and curation of microbial viruses, and evaluation of viral community function from genomic sequences (2020, background): “Viruses that infect bacteria and archaea are globally abundant and outnumber their hosts in most environments [1 – 3].”

Dormancy contributes to the maintenance of microbial diversity (2010, result): “These results support the idea that microbial rank abundance curves may be highly dynamic (39, 40).”
PHROG: families of prokaryotic virus proteins clustered using remote homology (2021, background): “Viruses are key players in most ecosystems as they actively participate to the regulation of microbial communities (1) and are important vectors for horizontal gene transfer (2).”
Marine viruses — major players in the global ecosystem (2007, background): “PCR-based gene-specific studies that target subsets of viral communities generally reveal that most of the diversity in virus communities is derived from sequences that are distantly related to those from cultured representative”
