Emerging concepts on microbial processes in the bathypelagic ocean-ecology, biogeochemistry, and genomics (2010, background): “Viruses are ubiquitous and the most abundant biological entities in marine environments, exerting a major influence on food webs and biogeochemical cycles (Weinbauer, 2004; Breitbart et al., 2008; Motegi et al., 2009).”
Coherent patterns in bacterial growth, growth efficiency, and leucine metabolism along a northeastern Pacific inshore‐offshore transect (2011, background): “Protistan bacterivory (Suzuki 1999) and viral infection (Bouvier and del Giorgio 2007) have also been shown to strongly influence community composition in this area; the latter may influence BGE at the community level as well (Motegi et al. 2009).”
Viruses in aquatic ecosystems: important advancements of the last 20 years and prospects for the future in the field of microbial oceanography and limnology (2010, result): “Experimental results [175] and a simple steady state model analysis [176] suggest that the viral shunt negatively affects BGE values.”
