Photosensitization of Cyanophage N-1
Journal of General Virology, 1974 Summary Experiments were conducted to study the photodynamic inactivation of blue-green virus N-1 (cyanophage N-1) sensitized with acridine orange. Acridine orange at concentrations of 1 to 5 µg/ml displayed a dose related protection of free virus, when irradiated at 268 nm.

The RNA Polymerase of Marine Cyanophage Syn5 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 A single subunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was identified and purified to apparent homogeneity from cyanophage Syn5 that infects the marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus. Syn5 is homologous to bacteriophage T7 that infects Escherichia coli. Using the purified enzyme its promoter has been identified by examining transcription of segments of Syn5 DNA ...

High-level diversity of tailed phages, eukaryote-associated viruses, and virophage-like elements in the metaviromes of Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2014 The metaviromes of two distinct Antarctic hyperarid desert soil communities have been characterized. Hypolithic communities, cyanobacterium-dominated assemblages situated on the ventral surfaces of quartz pebbles embedded in the desert pavement, showed

Comparative metagenomic analyses reveal viral-induced shifts of host metabolism towards nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Viral genomes often contain metabolic genes that were acquired from host genomes (auxiliary genes). It is assumed that these genes are fixed in viral genomes as a result of a selective force, favoring viruses that acquire specific metabolic ...

Bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase – sequenase [PDF]
, 2014 An ideal DNA polymerase for chain-terminating DNA sequencing should possess the following features: (1) incorporate dideoxy- and other modified nucleotides at an efficiency similar to that of the cognate deoxynucleotides; (2) high processivity; (3) high ...

Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system [PDF]
, 2016 Viral communities are important for ecosystem function as they are involved in critical biogeochemical cycles and controlling host abundance. This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs.

Biological and Genomic Characteristics of MaMV-DH01, a Novel Freshwater Myoviridae Cyanophage Strain
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The genomic traits of cyanophages and their potential for metabolic reprogramming of the host cell remain unknown due to the limited number of studies on cyanophage isolates.
