Abstract:
The bacteriophage S-PM2 is a myovirus which infects strains of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus, a major contributor to marine primary production. S-PM2 exhibits a phenomenon termed 'pseudolysogeny' when infecting P-limited cells. The complete genomic sequence of bacteriophage S-PM2 (190 kb) will be determined to facilitate the development of an understanding of the 'pseudolysogenic relationship', particularly with respect to identifying genes which may alter the properties of the host Synechococcus cell in a manner analogous to phage conversion and other interactions between the virus and its host.
