Genomes of the T4-related bacteriophages as windows on microbial genome evolution [PDF]
, 2010 The T4-related bacteriophages are a group of bacterial viruses that share morphological similarities and genetic homologies with the well-studied Escherichia coli phage T4, but that diverge from T4 and each other by a number of genetically determined ...

Genome diversity of marine phages recovered from Mediterranean metagenomes: Size matters [PDF]
, 2017 Marine viruses play a critical role not only in the global geochemical cycles but also in the biology and evolution of their hosts. Despite their importance, viral diversity remains underexplored mostly due to sampling and cultivation challenges.

Diversity of dsDNA viruses in a South African hot spring assessed by metagenomics and microscopy [PDF]
, 2017 The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study aimed to investigate the first African hot spring (Brandvlei hot ...

Bacteriophages isolated from Lake Michigan demonstrate broad host-range across several bacterial phyla [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: The study of bacteriophages continues to generate key information about microbial interactions in the environment. Many phenotypic characteristics of bacteriophages cannot be examined by sequencing alone, further highlighting the necessity ...

Evolving interactions between diazotrophic cyanobacterium and phage mediate nitrogen release and host competitive ability [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Interactions between nitrogen-fixing (i.e. diazotrophic) cyanobacteria and their viruses, cyanophages, can have large-scale ecosystem effects. These effects are mediated by temporal alterations in nutrient availability in aquatic systems owing to the ...

Host Range of LPP Cyanophages [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1985 We determined the sensitivities of 33 strains and variants of cyanobacteria to infection by the cyanophage LPP-1 archaetype, five LPP-1 serotypes, six LPP-2 serotypes, and 8 new LPP isolates. The LPP-1 archaetype and LPP-1 serotypes have different host ranges on strains of LPP group B.

Phylogenetic distribution of the capsid assembly protein gene (g20) of cyanophages in paddy floodwaters in Northeast China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Numerous studies have revealed the high diversity of cyanophages in marine and freshwater environments, but little is currently known about the diversity of cyanophages in paddy fields, particularly in Northeast (NE) China.
