Bacteriophage-driven microbial phenotypic heterogeneity: ecological and biogeochemical importance

Abstract Bacteriophages (phages) reprogram host metabolism and generate phenotypic heterogeneity, yet the mechanisms and ecological implications remain poorly understood representing a major knowledge gap in microbial ecology. This review explores how phage infection alters microbial physiology, con...
