Genomic and ecological attributes of marine bacteriophages encoding bacterial virulence genes
BACKGROUND: Bacteriophages encode genes that modify bacterial functions during infection. The acquisition of phage-encoded virulence genes is a major mechanism for the rise of bacterial pathogens. In coral reefs, high bacterial density and lysogeny has been proposed to exacerbate reef decline throug...
