Analysis of Different Size Fractions Provides a More Complete Perspective of Viral Diversity in a Freshwater Embayment

Abstract excerpt

diversity and relative abundance. Similarly, our data show that examining only the smaller-size fraction can lead to underestimations of virophage and cyanophage relative abundances that could, in turn, cause researchers to assume their limited ecological importance. Given the considerable differences we observed in this study, we recommend cautious interpretations of environmental virus community assemblages and...
