Question

Did you know? Bacteriophages — viruses that only attack bacteria — are the most abundant biological entity on Earth. Every day they kill about 40% of all bacteria in the ocean. Without them, bacterial populations would spiral out of control.

Accepted Answer

Bacteriophages — viruses that only attack bacteria — are the most abundant biological entity on Earth. Every day they kill about 40% of all bacteria in the ocean. Without them, bacterial populations would spiral out of control.

Bacteriofagen — virussen die alleen bacteriën aanvallen — zijn de meest voorkomende biologische entiteit op aarde. Elke dag doden ze ongeveer 40% van alle bacteriën in de oceaan. Zonder hen zouden bacteriële populaties uit de hand lopen.
