Synechococcus sp.의 광합성이 Cyanophage 증식에 미치는 영향

Influence of the Photosynthesis of Synechococcus sp. on the Development of its Cyanophage

Synechococcus sp.의 cyanophage는 early, late viral function 모두 빛을 필요로 하는 것으로 나타났으며 증식 초기 2시간 동안 암처리한 경우 200%의 burst size를 나타내었다. Dark 상태에서의 Synechococcus sp.의 cyanophage증식은 대조군에 비해 11%의 burst size를 나타내었다. 광합성 억제제인 DCMU를 $10^{-6}$M로 처리했을 때 virus yield가 2%로 감소했으며 $10^{-4}$M의 CCCP는 cyanophage의 증식을 거의 중지시켰다. 또한 이러한 숙주세포의 광합성 의존도는 LPP-1, N-1과 AS-1보다는 크나 SM-1보다는 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Light appears to be needed in the early and late function of the cyanophage of Synechococcus sp. and dark treatment during the first 2 hr of the replication cycle increased the virus yield to 200%. The burst size of the cyanophage multiplied in Synechococcus sp. in dark was 11% of that of control. The viral multiplication was reduced 2% in the presence of photosynthetic inhibitor, DCMU of $10^{-6}$ M, and nearly blocked in $10^{-4}$ M CCCP. These data suggested that the photosynthetic dependence of the cyanophage is greater than those of LPP-1 and AS-1, and smaller than SM-1.
