Diel Infection of Cyanobacteria by Cyanophages [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Cyanobacteria exhibit biological rhythms as an adaptation to the daily light-dark (diel) cycle. Light is also crucial for bacteriophages (cyanophages) that infect cyanobacteria.

Efficient Broad-Spectrum Cyanophage Function Module Mining [PDF]
MicroorganismsCyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) cause health and environmental effects worldwide. Cyanophage is a virus that exclusively infects cyanobacteria. Using cyanophages to control blooms is the latest biological control method.

Cyanophage Infections in a Sponge Intracellular Cyanobacterial Symbiont. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolIntracellular cyanobacterial symbionts of sponges are shown to be susceptible to cyanophages, challenging assumptions about their isolation from viral exposure. The study reveals novel phage–host interactions and suggests conserved infection strategies across symbionts of marine and terrestrial animals.

Cold Surface Waters of the Sub-Antarctic Pacific Ocean Support High Cyanophage Abundances and Infection Levels. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolHere, we investigated the abundance of cyanophages and the extent to which they infect Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, important primary producers, in the cold, low‐light, iron‐limited, sub‐Antarctic waters of the Pacific Ocean. We found that cyanophages are significant mortality agents, leading to substantial losses of these picocyanobacteria ...
