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

Phylogenomics of five Pseudanabaena cyanophages and evolutionary traces of horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Environmental Microbiome, 2023 Background Along with the fast development and urbanization in developing countries, the waterbodies aside the growing cities become heavily polluted and highly eutrophic, thus leading to the seasonal outbreak of cyanobacterial bloom.

Characterization and genomic analysis of an oceanic cyanophage infecting marine Synechococcus reveal a novel genus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Cyanophages play a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycles of aquatic ecosystems by affecting the population dynamics and community structure of cyanobacteria. In this study, a novel cyanophage, Nanhaivirus ms29, that infects Synechococcus sp. MW02 was

A novel long-tailed myovirus represents a new T4-like cyanophage cluster [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Cyanophages affect the abundance, diversity, metabolism, and evolution of picocyanobacteria in marine ecosystems. Here we report an estuarine Synechococcus phage, S-CREM2, which represents a novel viral genus and leads to the establishment of a new T4 ...

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 ...
