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, methodology): “However, since a mature or intracellular phage are only visible inside a host cell at the end of the lytic cycle, the FVIB is then converted into the frequency of cells that really is infected (FIC: Frequency of Infected Cells) [14,42] using theoretical conversion factors or algorithms derived from ”
Tangential flow diafiltration: an improved technique for estimation of virioplankton production (2005, methodology): “This method allows for direct observation of VP from a natural microbial consortia and requires only 1 correction factor, the reciprocal of the percent loss of bacteria, to estimate VP (Weinbauer et al. 2002, Wilhelm et al. 2002, Poorvin et al. 2004).”
