To kill or not to kill: The balance between lytic and lysogenic viral infection is driven by trophic status (2013, background): “The lysogenic conversion can alter the host phenotype and confer resistance against other viral infections (Brüssow et al. 2004; Chibani-Chennoufi et al. 2004; Weinbauer 2004).”
Methods for the extraction, storage, amplification and sequencing of DNA from environmental samples (2018, background): “Soil-borne plant viruses in particular pose obvious negative consequences for agricultural crops, whereas viral pathogenesis of soil microorganisms can have positive or deleterious impacts, depending on whether the affected microorganism is beneficial or harmful to plant growth and development (Brus”
Viral burst size of heterotrophic prokaryotes in aquatic systems (2006, background): “As co-infection selects for within host competitive ability (Turner & Chao, 1998), the latent period and the BS increase for both phages, although they can have di¡erent latent periods (Brussow et al., 2004).”
Disease-specific Alterations in the Enteric Virome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (2015, background): “For example, bacteriophages are primary drivers of bacterial diversity and fitness in different ecosystems (Brüssow et al., 2004).”
Bacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities (2014, background): “…al., 2012; Molineux & Panja, 2013; Samson et al., 2013; Young, 2013), as has the potential impact of temperate phages on the fitness and phenotype of their bacterial hosts, for example through horizontal transfer of functional genes (Br€ussow et al., 2004; Stern & Sorek, 2011; Varani et al., 2013).”
Mobile genetic elements: the agents of open source evolution (2005, background): “, which shows that plasmids and phages are important instruments in the divergence of closely related bacterial strains and specie”
Fate and transport of antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes following land application of manure waste. (2009, background): “Th e transfer of DNA between bacterial cells can be mediated by bacteriophages in a mechanism referred to as transduction (for review see Brüssow et al., 2004; Miller, 2001).”
CRISPR interference: RNA-directed adaptive immunity in bacteria and archaea (2010, background): “It has been long known that prophage-encoded genes have an important role in the virulence of pathogenic strain”
The human gut virome: inter-individual variation and dynamic response to diet. (2011, background): “A key question in investigating the gut virome centers on what fraction of phages are temperate, since this group can install new genes in bacteria and alter phenotype via lysogenic conversion (Brussow et al. 2004; Reyes et al. 2010).”
Detailed Genomic Analysis of the Wβ and γ Phages Infecting Bacillus anthracis: Implications for Evolution of Environmental Fitness and Antibiotic Resistance (2006, background): “prophages which, like the Fos island, is surrounded by different sequences but is immediately bordered by regions with considerable sequence homology (12).”
Lysogeny in nature: mechanisms, impact and ecology of temperate phages (2017, background): “Here, we complement efforts to specifically review lysogeny which have largely focused on prophage genomics and impacts of lysogeny on either microbial cells (Casjens, 2003; Brussow et al., 2004; Canchaya et al., 2004; Abedon and LeJeune, 2005; Fortier and Sekulovic, 2013; Hargreaves et al., 2014; F”
