Satellite phage TLCϕ enables toxigenic conversion by CTX phage through dif site alteration
Bacterial chromosomes often carry integrated genetic elements (e.g., plasmids, transposons, prophages, and islands) whose precise function and contribution to the evolutionary fitness of the host bacterium are unknown. The CTXϕ prophage, which encodes cholera toxin in Vibrio cholerae1, is known to b...
