Abstract
Spectrophotometry was used to investigate the effects of viral lysis on the absorbance properties of microalgal culture Tetraselmis viridis inoculated with virus, and compare them to control (growth of control culture of the microalgal culture without inoculated virus). Some peculiarities of methodological approach to conducting multi-day experiments were brought to attention, taking into the natural titers of algal viruses, equal volumes of the marine microbiota (algal viruses or nutrient medium, microalgal cultures) and conditions (temperature, illumination) in the experiment and control, preventing possible viral contamination of microalgae in the control. It has been established that in the dynamics of experiments during the destruction (lysis) of viral hosts (microalgae cells), an increase in the amount of dissolved organic material is observed.
