How cyanophage S-2L rejects adenine and incorporates 2-aminoadenine to saturate hydrogen bonding in its DNA
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22626-x
Abstract: Bacteriophages have long been known to use modified bases in their DNA to prevent cleavage by the host’s restriction endonucleases. Among them, cyanophage S-2L is unique because its genome has all its adenines (A) systematically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1819689116
Abstract: Significance To adapt to the daily light–dark cycle, diurnal rhythms are used by the photosynthetic cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, which are the most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth. Field studies revealed that cyanobacterial virus (cyanophage)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16043
Abstract: To acquire phosphorus, cyanobacteria use the typical bacterial ABC-type phosphate transporter, which is composed of a periplasmic high-affinity phosphate-binding protein PstS and a channel formed by two transmembrane proteins PstC and PstA. A putative pstS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02367-22
Abstract: Cyanophages play important ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems. Genomic and proteomic characterizations of the T4-like cyanophage S-SCSM1 indicate that novel and diverse viral genes and phage-host interactions in the marine environment remain unexplored. ABSTRACT Cyanophages,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281537
Abstract: Antagonistic interactions between bacteriophage (phage) and its bacterial host drives the continual selection for resistance and counter-defence. To date, much remains unknown about the genomic evolution that occurs as part of the underlying mechanisms. Such… read more here.

Cyanophage Propagation in the Freshwater Cyanobacterium Phormidium Is Constrained by Phosphorus Limitation and Enhanced by Elevated pCO2
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.00617
Abstract: Intensification of human activities has led to changes in the availabilities of CO2 and nutrients in freshwater ecosystems, which may greatly alter the physiological status of phytoplankton. Viruses require hosts for their reproduction and shifts… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01153
Abstract: Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are pico-sized cyanobacteria that play a fundamental role in oceanic primary production, being particularly important in warm, nutrient-poor waters. Their potential response to nutrient enrichment is expected to be contrasting and to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.768868
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are one of the dominant autotrophs in tropical freshwater communities, yet phages infecting them remain poorly characterized. Here we present the characterization of cyanophage S-SRP02, isolated from a tropical freshwater lake in Singapore, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14924
Abstract: Background Cyanophages, viruses that infect cyanobacteria, are globally abundant in the ocean’s euphotic zone and are a potentially important cause of mortality for marine picocyanobacteria. Viral host genes are thought to increase viral fitness by… read more here.
