Characterization of a lytic cyanophage that infects the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
Vb-AphaS-CL131 is a novel cyanosiphovirus that infects harmful Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. This cyanophage has an isometric head, 97 nm in diameter and a long, flexible non-contractile tail, 361 nm long. With a genome size of ~120 kb, it is the second largest cyanosiphovirus isolated to date. The latent period was estimated to be ~36 h and a single infected cell produces, on average, 218 infectio...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Toxic Bloom-Forming Cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon flos-aquae NIES-81
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a toxic filamentous cyanobacterium that causes water blooms in freshwaters across the globe. We present the draft genome sequence of the A. flos-aquae strain NIES-81, which was determined by 454 pyrosequencing technology. The draft genome is ~5.7 Mb, containing 5,802 predicted protein-coding genes and 58 RNA genes, with a G+C content of 38.5%.
متن کاملPSP toxins from Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (cyanobacteria) collected in the Crestuma-Lever reservoir (Douro river, northern Portugal).
The presence of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins in cultures of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, isolated from the Crestuma-Lever reservoir, was found by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography employing two isocratic elution systems for the separation of PSP toxins. With the first isocratic elution protocol, the presence of apolar toxins as saxitoxin, decarbamoyl saxitoxin and...
متن کاملThe effect of oral Aphanizomenon flos-aquae extract on excisional wound healing
Background: Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a type of blue-green algae and contains a source of biological compounds. These microalgae have many beneficial health effects. Recently, fucoidan, known sulfated polysaccharide component of AFA algae, has been claimed to stimulate stem-cell mobilization in animal models. Stem cells play an essential role in tissue repair process. In this study, we ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Blue-Green Algae Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae on Nutrient Assimilation in Rats
Blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), rich in protein, vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, are used as food supplements. We studied the effect of varying concentrations (0.05-0.4%) of AFA on growth, feed consumption, and nutrient digestion in rats. A diet supplemented with 0.05% algae (equivalent to human daily consumption) had a stimulatory effect on weight gain and feed cons...
