High adsorption rate is detrimental to bacteriophage fitness in a biofilm-like environment.

BMC evolutionary biology - 5 Oct 2009

Gallet Romain, Shao Yongping, Wang Ing-Nang

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bacterial biofilm is ubiquitous in nature. However, it is not clear how this crowded habitat would impact the evolution of bacteriophage (phage) life history traits. In this study, we constructed isogenic lambda phage strains that only differed in their adsorption rates, because of the presence/absence of extra side tail fibers or improved tail fiber J, and maker states. The high cell density and...
