Abstract. The effect of artificially changing the concentration of naturally occurring free virus-like particles (VLPs) on growth of marine heterotrophic flagellates was tested in batch cultures using ultrafiltration technology. This manipulation influenced the course of flagellate growth markedly. During 1 week of incubation the growth of 4 tested flagellate strains ( Oxyrrhis marina, Paraphysomonas imperforata, Petalomonas cantuscygni, Pteridomonas danica ) was strongly favoured after increasing the VLP concentration. Bacteria, however, were repressed in these treatments beyond 50 h. In cultures with natural seawater microbiota, we both reduced and enriched the concentration of VLPs. In these cultures, reduction of material in the virus-rich 2–200 nm size fraction led to a strong positive growth response of heterotrophic flagellates. In VLP-enriched treatments of natural seawater microbiota a tendency toward growth stimulation was also found, although this was not significant. Enrichment with VLPs caused no recognizable mortality either in cultured flagellate strains or in naturally occurring flagellate communities. However, it is suggested that a highly bioactive component must be present in the virus-rich 2–200 nm size fraction. Virus-like particles are discussed as possible candidates influencing heterotrophic flagellate community successions. 相似文献
