 | | Following a modified cyanophage isolation protocol used by Waterbury & Valois (1993) we enriched for Prochlorococcus infecting phage using serial re-infections of Prochlorococcus host cells, which displayed classic death curves in the presence of viruses. |
 | | Two viral types were isolated (order Caudovirales, families Myoviridae and Podoviridae). |
 | | Prochlorococcus-infecting cyanophage abundance was correlated with Prochlorococcus cell abundance in a depth profile at BATS using host strains MED4 and NATL2A. |
