Evolutionary principles and synthetic biology: avoiding a molecular tragedy of the commons with an engineered phage

BACKGROUND: In prior work, adding a gene to phage T7 that degraded the host K1 capsule facilitated growth when plated on capsulated hosts. However, the transgenic protein (an endosialidase) is expressed as an exoenzyme, released from the cell at lysis but unattached to the phage particle. There is t...
