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. The same studies have also found that phage abundance plays a critical role in the maintenance of the bacterial diversity within these communities. Are phages a density-dependent or a density-independent regulating factor?

A. Density-dependent B. Density-independent
