Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Microcystis aeruginosa forms toxic cyanobacterial blooms throughout the world where its infectious phages are thought to influence host population dynamics. To assess the cyanophage impact on the host dynamics, we previously monitored Ma-LMM01-type phage abundance using a real-time PCR with a primer set designed based on the sequence of Microcystis phage Ma-LMM01; and we estimated the phage-infected...
