For example, specific sequences of cyanophages could only be detected in the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM), a Chlorophyll-rich layer closely associated to the thermocline (ca 75 to 200 m depth).

With his computer simulation model, Hellweger "knocked out" the photosynthesis genes of cyanophages (viruses that attack marine cyanobacteria species such as Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus) to compare the fitness-level of these viruses to those containing the genes.

While this model is oversimplified, and has required assumptions that limit its applicability, it nevertheless may help us to understand some of the variability among cyanophages in methods they use to acquire dNTPs.

They are infected by cyanophages including members of the families Podoviridae, Myoviridae and Siphoviridae
