| Abstract: | Background It has been reported that some marine cyanophage are temperate and can be induced from a lysogenic phase to a lytic phase
by different agents such as heavy metals. However, to date no significant reports have focused on the temperate nature of
freshwater cyanophage/cyanobacteria. Previous experiments with cyanophage AS-1 and cyanobacteria Anacystis nidulans have provided some evidence that AS-1 may have a lysogenic life cycle in addition to the characterized lytic cycle. |
