Bacteria and viruses This group incorporates all state variables pertaining to bacteria (Kingdom Monera)and viruses. Note that Monera includes both Phylum Bacteria and Phylum Cyanophycota (cyanobacteria but sometimes called blue-green algae). Most parameters in this group express the abundance, either as cell counts or biomass, of various types of bacteria or viruses. However, the group also includes parameters that describe any other property of these entities that are not rates or fluxes . Examples include cell size, cell volume and the proportion of the population associated with the particulate phase. 2003-06-10 15:23:21.0 SDN:P03::B005 SDN:P03::B005 SDN:P03::B005 1 1 2003-06-10 15:23:21.0 accepted false
