The effect of phosphorus and nitrogen limitation on viral infection in microcystis aeruginosa NIES298 using the cyanophage Ma-LMM01
… infection. To address the potential role of cyanophages on the dominant species in most cHABs during nutrient-limited periods, we studied a specific host-phage system: Ma- LMM01 (phage) and <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em> strain NIES298 (host), both of which originate from a eutrophic lake in …

Auxiliary metabolic genes in viruses infecting marine cyanobacteria
… biogeochemical role of their microbial hosts. Cyanophages that infect the cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus often carry metabolic genes not found in other bacteriophages. The proteins encoded by these `auxiliary metabolic genes' (AMGs) are thought to increase phage fitness by …

Host/virus interactions in the marine cyanobacterium prochlorococcus
… Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. The viruses ('cyanophages') that infect these cyanobacteria are unusual in that their genomes contain a large suite of orthologs to host metabolic genes. These orthologs, known as 'auxiliary metabolic genes' ('AMGs'), encode proteins involved in diverse cellular …

Ecology, diversity and comparative genomics of oceanic cyanobacterial viruses
… in Prochlorococcus). Cyanobacterial viruses (cyanophages) that infect Synechococcus are abundant (to 104-106 phage ml-1) in the oceans and calculations suggest that they play a small but significant role in host mortality. Cyanophages are also thought to shape their host populations through …

Physical ecology of marine microbes
… Prochlorococcus and a cyanobacterial virus ('cyanophage') as a model system, we directly imaged the encounter and adsorption dynamics of the virus and the host at the level of single cells, using dual-wavelength epifluorescent microscopy. By applying this non-invasive approach to quantify …

Spatial-temporal patterns in evolutionary ecology and fluid turbulence
"This thesis explores the turbulence of ecosystems, and the ecology of turbulence. Ecosystems and turbulent fluids are both highly non-equilibrium and exhibit spatio-temporal complexity during the course of their evolution. It might seem that they are too complicated to extract universal …
