PHENOTYPIC STOCHASTICITY PROTECTS LYTIC BACTERIOPHAGE POPULATIONS FROM EXTINCTION DURING THE BACTERIAL STATIONARY PHASE
It is generally thought that the adsorption rate of a bacteriophage correlates positively with fitness, but this view neglects that most phages rely only on exponentially growing bacteria for productive infections. Thus, phages must cope with the environmental stochasticity that is their hosts’ phys...
