Fig. 4. VPL and VPLG and prokaryotic mortality due to viruses.

Fig. 4

(A) VPL against VPLG and (B) VMM against PMM detected at the surface (SURF; 3-m depth), DCM, and bathypelagic (BATHY; 4000-m depth) layers from 11 selected stations: 4 in the Atlantic Ocean, 3 in the Indian Ocean, and 4 in the Pacific Ocean. Three replicates were performed in each experiment. Dashed line is the 1:1 line. Lytic/lysogenic ratios at the surface, DCM, and bathypelagic layers were 4.63 ± 2.76, 10.00 ± 7.23, and 53.89 ± 39.17, respectively. Viral/grazing-mediated mortality ratios were 2.35 ± 1.47 at the surface layer, 7.15 ± 6.52 at the DCM layer, and 173.11 ± 128.91 at the bathypelagic layer.
