Abstract excerpt
Picocyanobacteria, represented by Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, are major photosynthetic organisms in aquatic ecosystems, and their viruses (cyanophages) significantly impact cyanobacterial ecology and evolution. Here, we combined metagenomics of Synechococcus communities along four representative estuaries in China and whole-genome analyses of laboratory-evolved Synechococcus mutants to link viral diversity...
