Fig. 5

The proportion of mortality partitioned between a viral-induced lysis, b grazing, and c other sources for the ECLIP models and other measures of relative mortality. For ECLIP the results from all chains are shown. Bars in these panels denote mortality rate proportions associated with the 95% confidence intervals, where the mean and median are shown by solid and dashed lines, respectively. Other plotted measures of relative mortality are given via direct measurements of viral infection (iPolony), and Fluorescently Labelled Bacteria (FLB) incubation measurements (see Supplementary Note 2 for details).
