The genomes of cyanobacteria that form harmful algal blooms contain more restriction modification systems per genome than nearly all other prokaryotic genera. This suggests that these viral defenses are important in their ecological strategy. @mBioJournal https://t.co/ZaE5viWg9x
Excited to see this collaboration with the @dtalm and @Zlabmicro labs appear. How nutrients, viruses and cellular machinery work to facilitate blooming-forming vs non-forming populations of cyanobacteria.
