Viral-Induced Mortality of Prokaryotes in a Tropical Monsoonal Estuary

Viral-Induced Mortality of Prokaryotes in a Tropical Monsoonal Estuary

Viruses are recognized as the most abundant and dynamic biological entities in the marine and estuarine environment. However, studies on the dynamics and activity of viruses in transient estuarine systems are limited. This study examines temporal and spatial variations in viral abundance (VA) and vi...
