The adaptation of temperate bacteriophages to their host genomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2013

Bobay Louis-Marie, Rocha Eduardo P C, Touchon Marie

Abstract excerpt

Rapid turnover of mobile elements drives the plasticity of bacterial genomes. Integrated bacteriophages (prophages) encode host-adaptive traits and represent a sizable fraction of bacterial chromosomes. We hypothesized that natural selection shapes prophage integration patterns relative to the host genome organization. We tested this idea by detecting and studying 500 prophages of 69 strains of Escherichia and...
