AS-1 Cyanophage Adsorption to Liposomes
Summary The cyanophage AS-1 adsorbs to vesicles of known lipid composition. The lipids used included: phosphatidylcholine (from soybean); monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, digalactosyldiacylglycerol, sulphoquinovosyldiacylglycerol, and phosphatidylglycerol (from Anacystis nidulans); cholesterol.

Probing Individual Environmental Bacteria for Viruses by Using Microfluidic Digital PCR [PDF]
Viruses may very well be the most abundant biological entities on the planet. Yet neither metagenomic studies nor classical phage isolation techniques have shed much light on the identity of the hosts of most viruses.

Combatting cyanobacteria with hydrogen peroxide: a laboratory study on the consequences for phytoplankton community and diversity [PDF]
Experiments with different phytoplankton densities in lake samples showed that a high biomass increases the rate of hydrogen peroxide (HP) degradation and decreases the effectiveness of HP in the selective suppression of dominant cyanobacteria.

CyanoNews (Vol. 3, No. 2, September 1987) [PDF]
CyanoNews was a newsletter that served the cyanobacteriological community from 1985 to 2003, with content provided by readers (sort of a blog before there were blogs). The newsletter reported new findings from the lab, summaries of recent meetings (often

Assessment of a Metaviromic Dataset Generated from Nearshore Lake Michigan [PDF]
Bacteriophages are powerful ecosystem engineers. They drive bacterial mortality rates and genetic diversity, and affect microbially mediated biogeochemical processes on a global scale.
