The description of cyanophages isolated in the USSR is given. The data presented here primarily concern cyanophages of A(L) and S(L) series developing in the cells of Anabaena variabilis strains of Synechococcus species strains, respectively.

In the early 1960s, the first cyanophage was isolated. The description of this phage, named LPP-1, led to the extensive investigation of various cyanophages and to the study of their interactions with their cyanobacterial hosts towards controlling blooms. Here, the genomes of LPP-1 and its putative relative, LPP-2 were sequenced.

Cyanophages are viruses with a wide distribution in aquatic ecosystems, that specifically infect Cyanobacteria. These viruses can be readily isolated from marine and fresh waters environments; however, their presence in cosmopolitan thermophilic phototrophic mats remains largely unknown. This study investigates the morphological diversity (TEM), taxonomic composition (metagenomics), and active infectivity (metatranscriptomics) of viral communities over a thermal gradient in hot spring phototrophic mats from Northern Patagonia (Chile).

The diversity and function of viruses in coral holobionts has only recently received attention. The non-reef building gorgonian octocoral, is a major constituent of Caribbean reefs. We investigated viral communities associated with tissues to understand their role in gorgonian ecology.
