Abstract |
The Study Group finds it appropriate that viruses which have as their host cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) should be grouped within the well-categorized families of the bacterial viruses. Thus, the term cyanophage is adopted as a synonym for the vernacular name BGA virus (BGAV) originally given to this virus type(l). Where the nucleic acid and structural components of cyanophages have been characterized, all possess a single piece of double-stranded DNA and the characteristic head-tail morphology of the bacteriophage. |
