Cyanophages exert important top-down controls on their cyanobacteria hosts; however,
concurrent analysis of both phage and host populations is needed to better assess phage …

Bacteriophages play significant roles in the composition, diversity, and evolution of bacterial
communities. Despite their importance, it remains unclear how phage diversity and phage …

Cyanobacteria and cyanophages are present widely in both freshwater and marine
environments. However, freshwater cyanophages remain unknown largely due to the small …

Viruses that infect cyanobacteria are an integral part of aquatic food webs, influencing
nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. However, the significance of virus host range …

Cyanobacteria, the only oxygenic photoautotrophs among prokaryotes, are developing as
both carbon building blocks and energetic self-supported chassis for the generation of …
