Unveiling a novel broad-host-range cyanomyovirus cross-infecting Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus
S-SCSM2R has an extremely broad host range and novel genetic features related to phage-host interactions. The discovery and characterization of S-SCSM2R broaden our knowledge of cyanophage cross-infectivity and reveal new ways in which cyanophages manipulate host metabolism in marine ecosystems.
