Lysogenic control of Bacillus subtilis morphology and fitness by Spbetavirus phi3T
Abstract In lysogenic conversion, temperate phages can profoundly alter the phenotypes of their bacterial hosts. When studying the effects of SPbeta-like viruses on a Bacillus subtilis soil isolate, we observed that phage phi3T induced a stable and heritable acquisition of a spherical cell morpholog...
