Genetic hurdles limit the arms race between Prochlorococcus and the T7-like podoviruses infecting them.
TL;DR: It is reported that, in some cases, T7-like cyanophage mutants emerge to infect resistant Prochlorococcus strains, and whole-genome sequencing revealed mutations in probable tail-related genes, suggesting that antagonistic coevolution enhances phage genome diversity.
Archaea in the Gulf of Aqaba

TL;DR: Endsequencing of fosmid libraries of environmental DNA provided a tentative identification of some members of the archaeal community and their role in the microbial community of the Gulf, and incorporation studies of radiolabeled leucine and bicarbonate in the presence of different inhibitors suggest that the archAeal community participates in autotrophic CO(2) uptake and contributes little to the heterotrophic activity.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method for genetic engineering of cyanophages from multiple families, called REEP for REcombination, enrichment, and PCR screening, was described, which enables direct investigation of key cyanophage genes and its simplicity makes it adaptable to other ecologically relevant hostvirus systems.
Isolation and characterization of a novel Lambda‐like phage infecting the bloom‐forming cyanobacteria Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii
Emmanuelle Laloum,Esther Cattan-Tsaushu,Daniel A. Schwartz,Hanaa Shaalan,Hagay Enav,Dikla Kolan,Sarit Avrani +6 more
TL;DR: Cr‐LKS3 has a unique ability to infect a host with a dramatically different GC content, without carrying any tRNA genes to compensate for this difference, and shed light on the complex interactions between C. raciborskii and its phages.

Virus-host swinging party in the oceans Incorporating biological complexity into paradigms of antagonistic coexistence
TL;DR: It is suggested that this coexistence is governed mainly by fluctuations between microbial subpopulations with differing viral susceptibility regions and that these fluctuations are driven by both metabolic and enhanced infection costs of resistance.
