A population study of killer viruses reveals different evolutionary histories of two closely related Saccharomyces sensu stricto yeasts.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2015

Chang Shang-Lin, Leu Jun-Yi, Chang Tien-Hsien

Abstract excerpt

Microbes have evolved ways of interference competition to gain advantage over their ecological competitors. The use of secreted killer toxins by yeast cells through acquiring double-stranded RNA viruses is one such prominent example. Although the killer behaviour has been well studied in laboratory yeast strains, our knowledge regarding how killer viruses are spread and maintained in nature and how yeast cells...
