Evidence for the intense exchange of MazG in marine cyanophages by horizontal gene transfer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: S-PM2 is a phage capable of infecting strains of unicellular cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Synechococcus. S-PM2, like other myoviruses infecting marine cyanobacteria, encodes a number of bacterial-like genes. Amongst these genes is one

A Novel Jumbo Phage PhiMa05 Inhibits Harmful Microcystis sp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microcystis poses a concern because of its potential contribution to eutrophication and production of microcystins (MCs). Phage treatment has been proposed as a novel biocontrol method for Microcystis.

Long‐term exposure to elevated temperature leads to altered gene expression in a common bloom‐forming cyanobacterium

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 12, Page 2654-2667, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Cyanobacteria have a strong potential to compete well under elevated temperatures. Understanding how they acclimate and evolve under climatic stressors can help us accurately predict their response to forecasted future conditions. However, it is unclear whether increased temperature results in microevolution and/or changes in gene expression ...

A Cyanophage MarR-Type Transcription Factor Regulates Host RNase E Expression during Infection

Microorganisms, 2022
The marine picocyanobacterium Prochlorococcus contributes significantly to global primary production, and its abundance and diversity is shaped in part by viral infection.

Cyanophage and algal virus

Virologica Sinica, 2013
Recently, water blooms have become a highly serious problem in various lakes and coastal areas in China. Many efforts have been made to investigate local cyanophages, and to identify local viral strains to be used in the management and control of water blooms.

Host Cyanobacteria Killing by Novel Lytic Cyanophage YongM: A Protein Profiling Analysis

Microorganisms, 2022
Cyanobacteria are autotrophic prokaryotes that can proliferate robustly in eutrophic waters through photosynthesis. This can lead to outbreaks of lake “water blooms”, which result in water quality reduction and environmental pollution that seriously ...

Picocyanobacteria Community and Cyanophage Infection Responses to Nutrient Enrichment in a Mesocosms Experiment in Oligotrophic Waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are pico-sized cyanobacteria that play a fundamental role in oceanic primary production, being particularly important in warm, nutrient-poor waters.

Genomes of marine cyanopodoviruses reveal multiple origins of diversity [PDF]

, 2012
The marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are highly abundant in the global oceans, as are the cyanophage with which they co-evolve. While genomic analyses have been relatively extensive for cyanomyoviruses, only three cyanopodoviruses ...

Synechococcus elongatus Argonaute reduces natural transformation efficiency and provides immunity against exogenous plasmids

mBio, 2023
The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 produces an active prokaryotic Argonaute nuclease, SeAgo, whose function is unknown. Here, we show that SeAgo reduces natural transformation and prevents the maintenance of RSF1010 replicons in S ...

Diversity of dsDNA viruses in a South African hot spring assessed by metagenomics and microscopy [PDF]

, 2017
The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study aimed to investigate the first African hot spring (Brandvlei hot ...
