Abstract
Auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) are commonly found in the genomes of marine cyanophages and on metagenomic scaffolds originating from phages. Many of them encode proteins involved in photosynthesis and are thought to increase phage fitness during infection. Here, we summarize the biochemical properties of AMG-encoded proteins involved in light harvesting pigment biosynthesis and assembly.
