High adsorption rate is detrimental to bacteriophage fitness in a biofilm-like environment
BACKGROUND: Bacterial biofilm is ubiquitous in nature. However, it is not clear how this crowded habitat would impact the evolution of bacteriophage (phage) life history traits. In this study, we constructed isogenic λ phage strains that only differed in their adsorption rates, because of the presen...
