The cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa, contains a large number of defense genes (Makarova et al., 2011); thus, it is a good model to study the co-evolution of phage and bacteria. Here, we isolated and characterized two phage-resistant M. aeruginosa mutants that came from a phage intermediate-sensitive culture. To determine the mutation conferring resistance, a protein expression pattern analysis...
Bacteriophages rapidly diversify their genes through co-evolution with their hosts. We hypothesize that gene diversification of phages leads to locality in phages genome. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the genetic diversity and composition of Microcystis cyanophages using 104 sequences of Ma-LMM01-type cyanophages from two geographically distant sampling sites. The intergenetic region between...
