Examples

  • From observations in lab studies, it appears that these cyanophage-encoded photosynthesis genes force the infected host cell to continue with photosynthesis until shortly before cell lysis.

  • This probably increases the energy available within the infected cell so that a maximum of new cyanophage particles can be produced.

  • To advance the study of phage biology through comparative genomic approaches we used marine cyanophage as a model system.

  • The model concentrates on processes of phage genome replication, the production of dNTPs, and the expression of psbA by host and phage, and can find good agreement with experimental measurements collected over the cyanophage P-SSP7 lytic cycle
