The Effect of Strain Level Diversity on Robust Inference of Virus-Induced Mortality of Phytoplankton
Infection and lysis of phytoplankton by viruses affects population dynamics and nutrient cycles within oceanic microbial communities. However, estimating the quantitative rates of viral-induced lysis remains challenging in situ. The modified dilution method is the most commonly utilized empirical ap...
