Much of the research effort focused on the impacts of elevated CO2on marine algae but very little work was done on freshwater algae, or on freshwater algal viruses. In this paper, we studied the impacts of elevated CO2on the infection of a freshwater cyanobacterium (wild Leptolyngbya sp.) by cyanophage PP that have a wide distribution in China. In a 12-month experiment, logarithmic-phase host cells were infected with cyanophage PP at 370 or 740 μatm pCO2concentrations;the burst size, lysing cycle and proportion of adsorption were measured. The results showed that the proportion of adsorptio...
