Variability in progeny production and virulence of cyanophages determined at the single‐cell level

Abstract excerpt

Little information regarding viral progeny production (burst size) and host mortality (viral virulence) is currently available for environmentally relevant phages. This is partially due to the difficulty in accurately measuring these infection properties with existing methods. Here, we set up a simple system for determining viral virulence and burst size at the single-cell level following flow cytometric...
