Genome diversity of marine phages recovered from Mediterranean metagenomes: Size matters [PDF]
, 2017 Marine viruses play a critical role not only in the global geochemical cycles but also in the biology and evolution of their hosts. Despite their importance, viral diversity remains underexplored mostly due to sampling and cultivation challenges.

Host Range of LPP Cyanophages [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1985 We determined the sensitivities of 33 strains and variants of cyanobacteria to infection by the cyanophage LPP-1 archaetype, five LPP-1 serotypes, six LPP-2 serotypes, and 8 new LPP isolates. The LPP-1 archaetype and LPP-1 serotypes have different host ranges on strains of LPP group B.

Use of Signal-Mediated Amplification of RNA Technology (SMART) to Detect Marine Cyanophage DNA
BioTechniques, 2002 Here, we describe the application of an isothermal nucleic acid amplification assay, signal-mediated amplification of RNA technology (SMART), to detect DNA extracted from marine cyanophages known to infect unicellular cyanobacteria from the genus ...

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]
, 2019 Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

The future of genomics in polar and alpine cyanobacteria [PDF]
, 2018 In recent years, genomic analyses have arisen as an exciting way of investigating the functional capacity and environmental adaptations of numerous micro-organisms of global relevance, including cyanobacteria. In the extreme cold of Arctic, Antarctic and

Recombination and microdiversity in coastal marine cyanophages [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2009 Summary Genetic exchange is an important process in bacteriophage evolution. Here, we examine the role of homologous recombination in the divergence of closely related cyanophage isolates from natural marine populations. Four core‐viral genes (coliphage T4 homologues g20 ,

Syn5 RNA polymerase synthesizes precise run-off RNA products [PDF]
, 2013 The enzyme predominantly used for in vitro run-off RNA synthesis is bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase. T7 RNA polymerase synthesizes, in addition to run-off products of precise length, transcripts with an additional non-base-paired nucleotide at the 3 ...
