How does one discover a virus in the ocean? Are there just viruses living in the ocean and scientists out there getting beakers of ocean water to microscope?
-
Pretty much.
The ocean is a war zone, an endless battle between bacteria and viruses. Trillions of dead every day; weapons developed and discarded as the tide of battle ebbs and flows.

Yeah but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites - they can't survive for long outside of a host cell and have to reproduce using the machinery of a host cell. I'm curious what this virus is parasitizing.

This sounds like a game I would play the shit out of

Tide of battle goes up, tide of battle goes down. You can't explain that.
-
eh pretty much the blood war then

Sounds like it.

the ocean is filled with viruses, mostly for bacteriophages, archaea virus(viruses that infect archaea, and other organisms. and most viruses can only be seen with electron microscope, because they are smaller than the wavelength of light. and there are just beginning to discover a large community of them this one is called PELV-1, which infects Pelagodinium phytoplankton. Alot of other giant viruses infect amoebas.

micrometer scale is massive for viruses, thats the size of a small cell.

Nice. 😎

Right?! A LifeStraw would catch that.
