EQUALLY ENORMOUS OCEANIC VIRAL BIOMASS. “Viruses are the most abundant ‘life forms’ in aquatic systems, and their number probably exceeds 10(29) in the ocean… the viral string-of-pearls would be 400 000 light years long. In comparison, the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is only 25,000 light years… has prompted research showing that they play a significant role in the transfer of matter and energy in aquatic microbial food webs.””
