• Stability of bacterial and viral community compositions in Danish coastal waters as depicted by DNA fingerprinting techniques (2002, background): “…changes in bacterial or viral community compositions are a consequence of alterations in the organic matter field or other environmental factors (Pinhassi et al. 1999, Van Hannen et al. 1999, Wommack et al. 1999a,b, Riemann et al. 2000, Steward et al. 2000, Fandino et al. 2001, Larsen et al. 2001).”
• Enumeration of virus particles in aquatic or sediment samples by epifluorescence microscopy (2010, background): “Current evidence suggests that the majority of viruses in the ocean are doublestranded DNA with genome sizes >20 kbp (Steward et al. 2000; Wommack et al. 1999), which should be easily stained and resolved by EFM.”
• The Marine Viromes of Four Oceanic Regions (2006, background): “Whereas most electron microscopy [49,50] and nucleic acid–based studies [51] have not found RNA viruses in large numbers, RNA viruses are still believed to be important components of the marine virome that need additional study.”
• Viruses as pathogens of marine organisms—from bacteria to whales (2006, methodology): “Pulsed ¢eld gel electrophoresis (PFGE) can be used to determine size distributions of virus DNA in seawater (Steward et al., 2000).”
• Viruses manipulate the marine environment (2009, methodology): “To circumvent these difficulties, whole viral communities have been isolated and analysed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis or shotgun sequencin”
• Response of bacterial and viral communities to nutrient manipulations in seawater mesocosms (2003, background): “By PFGE, Wommack et al. (1999) found that the Chesapeake Bay virioplankton community composition contained an average of 11 viral subpopulations, whereas Steward et al. (2000) found 14 to 35 bands in 4 marine samples.”
• Viriobenthos in freshwater and marine sediments : a review (2008, methodology): “Finally, this technique detects only dsDNA, as RNA and ssDNA cannot be adequately represented (Wommack et al., 1999; Steward et al., 2000).”
