(3/9) However, when they do, viruses usually harbor a single RP-coding gene. In this study, we revisit the genome of the jumbo #cyanophage PhiMa05 and show that it encodes six RPs (bS1, bL21, bL27, bL33, uL11and uL1), an RP acetyltransferase, and a ribosome biogenesis protein.

Cold Surface Waters of the Sub‐Antarctic Pacific Ocean Support High Cyanophage Abundances and Infection Levels Here, we investigated the abundance of cyanophages and the extent to which they infect Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, important primary producers, in the cold, low-light, iron-limited, sub-Antarc...
