Seasonal Viral Loop Dynamics in Two Large Ultraoligotrophic Antarctic Freshwater Lakes
The effect of viruses on the microbial loop, withparticular emphasis on bacteria, was investigated overan annual cycle in 2003-2004 in Lake Druzhby andCrooked Lake, two large ultraoligotrophic freshwaterlakes in the Vestfold Hills, Eastern Antarctica. Viralabundance ranged from 0.16 to 1.56 109 part...
