Host
Cyanophages' host range is very complex and plays an important role in controlling cyanobacteria population [1]. They have hosts in more than one genus and they can be classified into three major groups based on their taxonomy of their host organism [2].
Lyngbya, Plectonema and Phormidium (LPP) Cyanophage
The first group is LPP, which belongs to the cyanopodoviruses [3]. They carry short non-contractile tails and cause lysis of several species within three genera of cyanobacteria: Lyngbya, Plectonema and Phormidium [4]. Cyanophages in this group are easy to isolate from the environment [5].
Anabaena (A), Nostoc (N), Anabaena and Nostoc (AN) and Nostoc and Plectonema (NP) Cyanophage
A, AN, N and NP is the second group of the cyanophage host range [6]. They play an important role in infecting and causing lysis of Nostoc, Anabaena and Plectonema [7]. The A-group of the virus lysis and infects Anabaena species [8]. Similarly, AN group of host range infects both Anabaena and Nostoc species, whereas the N group of viruses infect the Nostoc species only [9]. Lastly, the cyanobacterial isolates of Nostoc and Plectonema species is infected by the NP group of viruses [10]. These cyanobacterial isolates closely relate to the taxonomic group of Nostoc [11]. They all have broad host range and mutations are noticeable in these group of viruses [12].
Anacystis nidulans and Synechococcus cedrorum (AS), Synechococcus elongatus and Microcystis aeruginosa (SM) Cyanophage
AS and SM groups are the third group of cyanophage host range [13]. Unicellular cyanobacteria are infected by these host range group [14]. The myovirus AS-1 infects Anacystis nidulans, Synechococcus cedrorum, Synechococcus elongatus and Microcystis aeruginosa [15]. Similarly, Synechococcus elongatus and Microcystis aeruginosa are infected by the podovirus SM-1 [16].
