Flow cytometric analysis of virus-like particles and heterotrophic bacteria within coral-associated reef water
2006
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom
Using £ow cytometry, two distinct populations of virus-like particles (VLP) and heterotrophic bacteria were de¢ned within the 12 cm water layer immediately overlying healthy, diseased and dead acroporid corals. Bacterial abundances were similar in overlying water for all coral types, however, VLP were 30% higher above diseased corals than healthy or dead corals. Mean virus to bacteria ratios (VBR) were up to 30% higher above diseased corals than above healthy or dead coral or in distant water.
