Re-examination of the relationship between marine virus and microbial cell abundances

Marine viruses are critical drivers of ocean biogeochemistry, and their abundances vary spatiotemporally in the global oceans, with upper estimates exceeding 10 8 per ml. Over many years, a consensus has emerged that virus abundances are typically tenfold higher than microbial cell abundances. Howev...
