Phage auxiliary metabolic genes and the redirection of cyanobacterial host carbon metabolism

Phage auxiliary metabolic genes and the redirection of cyanobacterial host carbon metabolism

Cyanophages infecting the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus encode and express genes for the photosynthetic light reactions. Sequenced cyanophage genomes lack Calvin cycle genes, however, suggesting that photosynthetic energy harvested via phage proteins is not used for carbon f...
