  1. BAC, bacterial concentrations; VIR, viral concentrations; FLC, fraction of lysogenized cells; PODO, proportion of Podoviridae; SIPHO, proportion of Siphoviridae; MYO, proportion of Myoviridae; UNTAILED, proportion of untailed viruses. £indicates a significant difference in the mean values between water and gut samples (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc test).
