Freshwater cyanophages

open access: yesVirologica Sinica, 2013
Cyanophages are double-stranded DNA viruses that infect cyanobacteria, and they can be found in both freshwater and marine environments. They have a complex pattern of host ranges and play important roles in controlling cyanobacteria population.

Cyanophages infecting the oceanic cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus

Nature, 2003
Prochlorococcus is the numerically dominant phototroph in the tropical and subtropical oceans, accounting for half of the photosynthetic biomass in some areas. Here we report the isolation of cyanophages that infect Prochlorococcus, and show that although some are host-strain-specific, others cross-infect with closely related marine Synechococcus as ...

Marine cyanophages and light

Environmental Microbiology, 2006
Summary In contrast to the phages of heterotrophic hosts, light can play a key role in all aspects of the life cycle of phages infecting ecologically important marine unicellular cyanobacteria of the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus

Cyanophage-cyanobacterial interactions for sustainable aquatic environment

Environmental Research, 2023
Cyanobacteria are a type of bloom-forming phytoplankton that cause environmental problems in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHAB) often produce cyanotoxins that affect public health by contaminating surface waters and drinking water reservoirs.

Cyanophages

Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Microbiologie, 1983
The description of cyanophages isolated in the USSR is given. The data presented here primarily concern cyanophages of A(L) and S(L) series developing in the cells of Anabaena variabilis strains of Synechococcus species strains, respectively.

Mutagenesis in cyanophage LPP-1

Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 1976
Abstract Mutagenesis in cyanophage LPP-1 was investigated with physical and chemical mutagens. Rapid lysis (r), host range (h) and temperature sensitivity (ts) were studied. Mutations induced by ultraviolet irradiation in free phages were photoreactivable by visible light.

Isolation of Cyanophages from India

Nature, 1967
USING the methods of Safferman and Morris1, who isolated the first phycovirus, strain LPP-1, and propagated it on the blue green alga, Plectonema boryanum, five strains of cyanophages2 have been isolated from local polluted pond waters. Two of these differ in host range and plaque morphology wrhile the remaining three bring about lysis of LPP-1 host, P.

Marine cyanophages exhibit local and regional biogeography

Environmental Microbiology, 2012
Summary Biogeographic patterns have been demonstrated for a wide range of microorganisms. Nevertheless, the biogeography of marine viruses has been slower to emerge. Here we investigate biogeographic patterns of marine cyanophages that infect S ...

Cyanophage infection and photoinhibition in marine cyanobacteria

Research in Microbiology, 2004
Members of two cyanobacterial genera, Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, are dominant within the prokaryotic component of the picophytoplankton and contribute significantly to global photosynthetic productivity. These organisms are known to be susceptible to infection by bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and it is believed that phage ...
