Bacteriophages Limit the Existence Conditions for Conjugative Plasmids

Bacteriophages Limit the Existence Conditions for Conjugative Plasmids

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages are a major cause of bacterial mortality and impose strong selection on natural bacterial populations, yet their effects on the dynamics of conjugative plasmids have rarely been tested. We combined experimental evolution, mathematical modeling, and individual-based simulation...
