Table 1. Results summary.

Phage gene expression Host gene expression Pyridine nucleotides Productivity of infection
Light early Early genes: high at 30 min, max at 1.5 h Middle genes: high at 1.5 h, max at 2.5 h ↑ HLIPs, PTOX, PET, Trx, PSI ↓ Cell div, Trx, Transl Slight increase in NADPH/NADP+ and decrease in total phosphorylation state Host gDNA degraded: 86%, starting at 1.5 h
Light late Late genes: high at 2.5 h, max at 4.5 h ↑ PSII ↓ FNR, Cell div, Trx, Transl Strong increase in NADPH/NADP+ and decrease in total phosphorylation state Latent period: 8 h Burst size: ≥12
Dark early Early genes: max at 30 min, then drop Middle genes: max at 1.5–2.5 h, then drop Little response Little change in infected or control Host gDNA degraded: 44%, starting at 6.5 h
Dark late Late genes: max at 4.5 h, then drop ↑ Transport, Trx, Transl ↓ FNR, Biosynth, PET, HLIPs, PSI Total pool more oxidized and less phosphorylated in both infected and control Latent period: N/A Burst size: N/A

Events are listed for light and dark experiments, divided into early (0–2 h post-inoculation) and late (2–9 h post-inoculation) periods. Abbreviations: Biosynth, biosynthesis; Cell div, cell division; FNR, ferredoxin–NADP+ reductase; HLIPs, high light inducible proteins; PET, photosynthetic electron transport; PSII, photosystem II; PTOX, plastoquinol terminal oxidase; Transl, protein translation; Trx, transcription; N/A, not applicable.
