Hypothesis: a Plastically Produced Phenotype Predicts Host Specialization and Can Precede Subsequent Mutations in Bacteriophage
ABSTRACT The role of phenotypic plasticity in the evolution of new traits is controversial due to a lack of direct evidence. Phage host range becomes plastic in the presence of restriction-modification (R-M) systems in their hosts. I modeled the evolution of phage host range in the presence of R-M s...
