Biogeography of Virioplankton Abundance and Subcluster Patterns in the Northwest Pacific: A Large-Scale Perspective. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Enhanced‐resolution flow cytometry combined with phenotypic diversity analysis reveals four consistent viral subclusters and a fifth restricted to the Yellow Sea across the Northwest Pacific. These results identify a cryptic diversity hotspot in the Luzon Strait and demonstrate how environmental and biological gradients shape large‐scale patterns in ...

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]

, 2014
Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Cell Death in Cyanobacteria: Current Understanding and Recommendations for a Consensus on Its Nomenclature

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cyanobacteria are globally widespread photosynthetic prokaryotes and are major contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. One of the most critical processes determining cyanobacterial eco-physiology is cellular death.

Quantification of T4-Like and T7-Like Cyanophages Using the Polony Method Show They Are Significant Members of the Virioplankton in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) is one of the largest biomes on Earth, with the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus being the most abundant primary producer year-round.

Cyanophages as an important factor in the early evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis

Scientific Reports, 2022
Cyanophages are viruses that infect cyanobacteria. An interesting feature of many of them is the presence of psbA and psbD, genes that encode D1 and D2 proteins, respectively. The D1 and D2 are core proteins of the photosystem II (PSII) in cyanobacteria,

Seasonal variations in cyanophage communities in the coastal waters of Kuwait

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2023
Cyanobacteria and the viruses that infect them (cyanophages) are crucial to the marine ecosystem, but little is known regarding the genetic diversity of natural cyanophages and their variation over space and time in Kuwait waters.

The Synthesis and Assembly of a Truncated Cyanophage Genome and Its Expression in a Heterogenous Host

Life, 2022
Cyanophages play an important role in regulating the dynamics of cyanobacteria communities in the hydrosphere, representing a promising biological control strategy for cyanobacterial blooms.

A Review of Cyanophage–Host Relationships: Highlighting Cyanophages as a Potential Cyanobacteria Control Strategy

Toxins, 2022
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are naturally occurring phenomena, and cyanobacteria are the most commonly occurring HABs in freshwater systems. Cyanobacteria HABs (cyanoHABs) negatively affect ecosystems and drinking water resources through the production of potent toxins. Furthermore, the frequency, duration, and distribution of cyanoHABs are increasing,

Ubiquity, Diversity, and Genomic Complexity of Cyanophages in Freshwater Environments

Proceedings, 2020
Cyanophages are viruses that infect cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) and are ubiquitious in marine and freshwater environments. In recent years, freshwater cyanophages have attracted more attention because they can affect global freshwater ...

Picocyanobacteria Community and Cyanophage Infection Responses to Nutrient Enrichment in a Mesocosms Experiment in Oligotrophic Waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are pico-sized cyanobacteria that play a fundamental role in oceanic primary production, being particularly important in warm, nutrient-poor waters.
