Rampant prophage movement among transient competitors drives rapid adaptation during infection
2021-02-02
Abstract excerpt
Interactions between bacteria, their close competitors, and viral parasites are common in infections but understanding of these eco-evolutionary dynamics is limited. Most examples of adaptations caused by phage lysogeny are through the acquisition of new genes. However, integrated prophages can also insert into functional genes and impart a fitness benefit by disrupting their expression, a process called active ly...
