Adaptation to sub-optimal hosts is a driver of viral diversification in the ocean

Nature Communications, 2018
Marine cyanophages infect oceanic cyanobacteria that are important contributors to global primary production. By using an experimental evolution approach, here the authors show that adaptation to sub-optimal cyanobacterial hosts result in genomic ...

Analysis and phylogeny of small heat shock proteins from marine viruses and their cyanobacteria host.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are oligomeric stress proteins characterized by an α-crystallin domain (ACD) surrounded by a N-terminal arm and C-terminal extension. Publications on sHSPs have reported that they exist in prokaryotes and eukaryotes but,

CyanoNews (Vol. 2, No. 1, March 1986) [PDF]

, 1986
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

Transcriptional profiles of Microcystis reveal gene expression shifts that promote bloom persistence in in situ mesocosms

Microbiology Spectrum
Harmful algal blooms caused by cyanobacteria threaten aquatic ecosystems, the economy, and human health. Previous work has tried to identify the mechanisms that allow blooms to form, focusing on the role of nutrients.

Mitomycin C eliminates cyanobacterial transcription without detectable prophage induction in a Microcystis-dominated harmful algal bloom in Lake Erie

Microbiology Spectrum
Although evidence indicates that viruses are important in the ecology of Microcystis spp., many questions remain. For example, how does Microcystis exist at high, bloom-associated cell concentrations in the presence of viruses that infect it?

The Cyanophage Molecular Mixing Bowl of Photosynthesis Genes

PLoS Biology, 2006
Among the wealth of microbial organisms inhabiting marine environments, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are the most abundant photosynthetic cells. Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, the two most common cyanobacteria, account for 30% of global carbon fixation (through the photosynthetic process in which sugars are manufactured from carbon dioxide and ...
