Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 May;49(5):1326-8. doi: 10.1128/aem.49.5.1326-1328.1985.

Abstract

Viruses which formed plaques on lawns of a eucaryotic, chlorella-like green alga were detected in 37% of the 35 freshwater samples surveyed. Virus populations, monitored in seven locations, fluctuated both qualitatively and quantitatively over an 8-month period.
