Oceanic cyanobacterial photosynthesis is negatively affected by viral NblA proteins

Omer Nadel, Rawad Hanna, Andrey Rozenberg, Dror Shitrit, Ran Tahan, Irena Pekarski, Oded Béjà, Oded Kleifeld, Debbie Lindell

This study shows that cyanophage NblA proteins negatively affect oceanic cyanobacterial photosynthesis by accelerating infection, degrading the phycobilisome, and reducing light harvesting efficiency.
