The effect of viruses on the microbial loop, with particular emphasis on bacteria, was investigated over an annual cycle in 2003-2004 in Lake Druzhby and Crooked Lake, two large ultraoligotrophic freshwater lakes in the Vestfold Hills, Eastern Antarctica. Viral abundance ranged from 0.16 to 1.56 109...
