Cyanophages which impact bloom-forming cyanobacteria

Various mesotrophic and eutrophic freshwater environments in the state of Florida were surveyed for the existence of cyanophages. Cyanophages were discovered which infect and kill four common bloom-forming species of cyanobacteria, Lyngbya birgei, Anabaena circinalis, Anabaena flos-aquae , and Micro...

Zusammenfassung:Various mesotrophic and eutrophic freshwater environments in the state of Florida were surveyed for the existence of cyanophages. Cyanophages were discovered which infect and kill four common bloom-forming species of cyanobacteria, Lyngbya birgei, Anabaena circinalis, Anabaena flos-aquae , and Microcystis aeruginosa . These cyanophages are being maintained in the laboratory at titers around 10 super(7) PFU/ml. The potential use of these cyanophages to control blooms of these cyanobacteria is discussed.
