Viruses Infecting a Freshwater Filamentous Cyanobacterium ( Nostoc sp.) Encode a Functional CRISPR Array and a Proteobacterial DNA Polymerase B

Here we present the first genomic characterization of viruses infecting Nostoc , a genus of ecologically important cyanobacteria that are widespread in freshwater. Cyanophages A-1 and N-1 were isolated in the 1970s and infect Nostoc sp. strain PCC 7210 but remained genomically uncharacterized. Their...
