Quantification of lysogeny caused by phage coinfections in microbial communities from biophysical principles
2020-04-24
Abstract excerpt
Temperate phages can integrate in their bacterial host genome to form a lysogen, often modifying the phenotype of the host. Lysogens are dominant in the microbial-dense environment of the mammalian-gut. This observation contrasts with the long-standing hypothesis of lysogeny being favored in microbial communities with low densities. Here we hypothesized that phage coinfections—the most studied molecular mechanism...
