Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages-bacteria interactions drive rapid evolution of both partners in laboratory studies. To understand how these dynamics unfold in natural environments, we re-sampled a population of Vibrio crassostreae and their phages in an open, animal-associated marine system four years apart. Analysis of over 1000 predominantly virulent phages revealed rapid change of some lineages, but persistence of others, with...
