Interactions between bacterial and phage communities in natural environments
We commonly acknowledge that bacterial viruses (phages) shape the composition and
evolution of bacterial communities in nature and therefore have important roles in ecosystem …

Ecological and evolutionary benefits of temperate phage: what does or doesn't kill you makes you stronger
E Harrison, MA Brockhurst - BioEssays, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Infection by a temperate phage can lead to death of the bacterial cell, but sometimes these
phages integrate into the bacterial chromosome, offering the potential for a more long …
