noha Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Hello, I'd like to know what is meant by viral turnover in the following context: Rough estimates suggest that the lysis of cells by marine viruses removes 20 to 40 per cent of all of the bacteria every day. This astonishing viral turnover of planktonic microbes fertilizes the water below the sunlit surface of the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 turnover here is referring to changing one thing to another. It’s caused by the viruses, so it’s viral turnover. Whatever the products of the lysis are is the fertilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
