Cyanophage Engineering for Algal Blooms Control [PDF]
VirusesCyanobacteria represent a prevalent category of photosynthetic autotrophs capable of generating deleterious algal blooms, commonly known as cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs). These blooms often produce cyanotoxins, which pose risks to public

Toxins, 2022 Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are naturally occurring phenomena, and cyanobacteria are the most commonly occurring HABs in freshwater systems. Cyanobacteria HABs (cyanoHABs) negatively affect ecosystems and drinking water resources through the production ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Cyanobacteria and cyanophages are present widely in both freshwater and marine environments. However, freshwater cyanophages remain unknown largely due to the small numbers of cyanophage isolates despite their ecological and environmental significance ...

Diel infection of cyanobacteria by cyanophages [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Cyanobacteria exhibit biological rhythms as an adaptation to the daily light-dark (diel) cycle. Light is also crucial for bacteriophages (cyanophages) that infect cyanobacteria.

Multi-year molecular quantification and ‘omics analysis of Planktothrix-specific cyanophage sequences from Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionPlanktothrix agardhii is a microcystin-producing cyanobacterium found in Sandusky Bay, a shallow and turbid embayment of Lake Erie. Previous work in other systems has indicated that cyanophages are an important natural control factor of ...

Virus Infection of a Freshwater Cyanobacterium Contributes Significantly to the Release of Toxins Through Cell Lysis [PDF]
MicroorganismsToxic algal-bloom-forming cyanobacteria are a persistent problem globally for many aquatic environments. Their occurrence is attributed to eutrophication and rising temperatures due to climate change.

Cyanophage Infections in a Sponge Intracellular Cyanobacterial Symbiont. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolIntracellular cyanobacterial symbionts of sponges are shown to be susceptible to cyanophages, challenging assumptions about their isolation from viral exposure. The study reveals novel phage–host interactions and suggests conserved infection strategies across symbionts of marine and terrestrial animals.

Cold Surface Waters of the Sub-Antarctic Pacific Ocean Support High Cyanophage Abundances and Infection Levels. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolHere, we investigated the abundance of cyanophages and the extent to which they infect Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, important primary producers, in the cold, low‐light, iron‐limited, sub‐Antarctic waters of the Pacific Ocean. We found that cyanophages are significant mortality agents, leading to substantial losses of these picocyanobacteria ...

Genetic engineering of marine cyanophages reveals integration but not lysogeny in T7-like cyanophages [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2021 Abstract Marine cyanobacteria of the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are the most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth, spanning vast regions of the oceans and contributing significantly to global primary production. Their viruses (cyanophages) greatly influence cyanobacterial ecology and evolution.
