The most abundant bMAG hosts, Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria , displayed an interesting trend where Alphaproteobacteria hosts were overrepresented among bMAGs with linkages and Gammaproteobacteria hosts were underrepresented, suggesting higher frequency of viral infection in the more abundant Alphaproteobacteria , consistent with observations of Alphaproteobacteria in coral reef seawater [ 56 ].
