Local adaptation of bacteriophages to their bacterial hosts in soil.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 14 Aug 2009

Vos Michiel, Birkett Philip J, Birch Elizabeth, Griffiths Robert I, Buckling Angus

Abstract excerpt

Microbes are incredibly abundant and diverse and are key to ecosystem functioning, yet relatively little is known about the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that shape their distributions. Bacteriophages, viral parasites that lyse their bacterial hosts, exert intense and spatially varying selection pressures on bacteria and vice versa. We measured local adaptation of bacteria and their associated phages in...
