Viral NblA proteins negatively affect oceanic cyanobacterial photosynthesis - Nature Viral NblA accelerates the cyanophage infection cycle, directs degradation of the host phycobilisome and other proteins, and reduces host photosynthetic light-harvesting efficiency.

This is such a cool paper as it experimentally addresses the role of the auxiliary metabolic gene nblA in cyanophages showing a large benefit of NblA to the cyanophage and a negative effect on the host photosynthetic apparatus and host photosynthesis
