Species:
Cyanophage N-1

Cyanophage N-1 is a myovirus bacteriophage that infects freshwater filamentous cyanobacteria of the Nostoc genus.[1] The virus was first isolated by Kenneth Adolph and Robert Haselkorn in 1971 in the US, from the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium, Nostoc muscorum.[2][3] N-1 is closely related to cyanophage A-1, but only distantly to other cyanophages of freshwater or marine origin.[1]
