The size distribution of viral DNA in natural samples was investigated in a number of marine, brackish and freshwater environments by means of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The method was modified to work with both water and sediment samples, with an estimated detection limit for individual virus genome size groups of 1-2 × 104 virus-like particles (VLP) mL−1 water and 2-4 × 105 VLP cm−3 sediment in the original samples. Variations in the composition and distribution of dominant virus genome sizes were analyzed within and between different habitats that covered a range in viral density from 0.4 × 107 VLP mL−1 (sea water) to 300 × 107 VLP cm−3 (lake sediment). The PFGE community fingerprints showed a number of cross-system similar...
