A Unique Set of Auxiliary Metabolic Genes Found in an Isolated Cyanophage Sheds New Light on Marine Phage-Host Interactions

ABSTRACT Cyanophages, viruses that infect cyanobacteria, are abundant and widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems, playing important roles in regulating the abundance, activity, diversity, and evolution of cyanobacteria. A T4-like cyanophage, S-SCSM1, infecting Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus str...
