tell me in detail about viruses present in our environment.
Answers
hey mate....✌️
In addition to their influences on biogeochemical cycles, viruses drive microbial evolution by natural selection for microbes resistant to infection and via lateral gene transfer. ... Viruses are also important exchangers of genetic information between hosts, because they inject their genomes into the host cells.
They infect and destroy the bacteria in aquatic microbial communities, comprising the most important mechanism of recycling carbon in the marine environment. The organic molecules released from the bacterial cells by the viruses stimulate fresh bacterial and algal growth.
