Temporal transcriptional patterns of cyanophage genes suggest synchronized infection of cyanobacteria in the oceans
Abstract Background Based on the peak expression times during infection, early, middle, and late genes have been characterized in viruses (cyanophages) that infect the unicellular cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Laboratory experiments show that some cyanophages can only replicate in the light and th...
