Associations between picocyanobacterial ecotypes and cyanophage host genes across ocean basins and depth
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 either increasing numbers of genes for synthesizing...
