Genomic and Seasonal Variations among Aquatic Phages Infecting the Baltic Sea GammaproteobacteriumRheinheimerasp. Strain BAL341

Abstract excerpt

Phages are important in aquatic ecosystems as they influence their microbial hosts through lysis, gene transfer, transcriptional regulation, and expression of phage metabolic genes. Still, there is limited knowledge of how phages interact with their hosts, especially at fine scales. Here, aRheinheimeraphage-host system constituting highly similar phages infecting one host strain is presented. This relatively...
