	abstract = {{The objectives of this study were to determine if viruses exist in deep granitic groundwater and to analyse their abundance and morphological diversity. Fluorescent microscopy counts on 10 groundwater samples ranging from 69 to 450 m depth were in the range of 10(4)-10(6) TNC ml(-1) (TNC, total number of prokaryotic cells) and 10(5)-10(7) VLP ml(-1) (VLP, virus-like particles). A good positive correlation of VLP with TNC (r=0.91},
