Frequency, size and distribution of bacteriophages in different marine bacterial morphotypes
The frequencies of cells containing mature phages, the burst sizes, the phage head sizes and the distribution of phages inside cells of different bacterial morphotypes were investigated in the northern Adriatic Sea. Coccoid bacteria more frequently (2 .5%) contained mature phages than rodshaped bacteria (1.2%) and spirillae (1.4 %).

Auxiliary Metabolic Gene Functions in Pelagic and Benthic Viruses of the Baltic Sea
Marine microbial communities are facing various ecosystem fluctuations (e.g., temperature, organic matter concentration, salinity, or redox regimes) and thus have to be highly adaptive.

Bacteriophages Lysing the Marine Fouling Bacteria
In order to obtain the fundamental data to control the formation of marine microbiofouling by bacteriophages, titanium and aluminum alloy plates were immersed at Okunouchi Bay in Seto Inland Sea, and the marine fouling bacteria attached were isolated and characterized.

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

Marine Transducing Bacteriophage Attacking a Luminous Bacterium [PDF]
The isolation and partial characterization of a marine bacteriophage attacking a strain of luminous bacteria is described, including some physical, biological, and genetic properties. It is a DNA phage of density of 1.52 with a long flexible tail and an apparently icosohedral head.

Native marine bacteriophages [PDF]
Isolation and cultivation of marine bacteriophages have shown that they are ubiquitous in seawater, and direct counting has shown that the total numbers of viruses frequently exceed the bacterial concentration by a factor of 10. About 150 different isolates of phages from marine environments have been characterized in the literature reviewed in the ...

Pathogenic viruses are frequently present in marine and estuarine waters, due to poor wastewater (WW) treatments, which consequently affect water quality and human health. Chlorination, one of the most common methods used to ensure microbiological safety

Diversity of Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere of Medicago marina: Myoviruses, Filamentous and N4-Like Podovirus [PDF]
Using different Sinorhizobium meliloti strains as hosts, we isolated eight new virulent phages from the rhizosphere of the coastal legume Medicago marina.

An electron microscopic study of bacteriophages from marine waters [PDF]
The morphology of 75 bacteriophage strains isolated from water samples collected in the North Sea or in the northern Atlantic was studied by electron microscopy. Only tailed phages were observed (bradley groups A, B, and C). According to structural similarities, the strains are ascribed to 12 groups, 5 of which comprise types of marine phages not ...
