Identification of cyanophage Ma-LBP and infection of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa from an Australian subtropical lake by the virus
Article Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine if cyanophages could exert a controlling influence on the abundance of the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. The results showed that this cyanophage could be a major natural control mechanism of M. aeruginosa abundance in aquatic ecosystems.

Diel infection of a cyanobacterium by a contractile bacteriophage
Article Abstract:
Phage progeny production was correlated with the amount of light in the laboratory and occurred in a diel pattern under natural light. The results showed that light was found to strongly influence the infection of freshwater cyanobacterium by a contractile DNA phage AS-1.
