Communities with a high level of bacterial diversity are found in many habitats including soil and aquatic environments. Recent studies indicate this diversity is crucial to the functioning of these communities.

What is the probable role of phages in this community? (Check all that apply.)

A) they act as facilitators B) they have a mutualistic relationship with the bacteria C) they parasitize the bacteria D) they have a commensal relationship with the bacteria E) they compete with the bacteria for space and nutrients F) they keep any one species of bacteria from becoming too abundant in the community
