Prophage maintenance is determined by environment-dependent selective sweeps rather than mutational availability

Z. M. Bailey, C. C. Wendling, C. Igler

The paper shows that prophage maintenance in bacteria is driven by environmental selective sweeps rather than mutation rates or accessory gene cooperation.

SUB-OPTIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS PROLONG PHAGE EPIDEMICS IN BACTERIAL POPULATIONS

H. Goehlich, O. Roth, M. Sieber, C. M. Chibani, A. Poehlein, J. Rajkov, H. Liesegang, C. C. Wendling

The paper shows that suboptimal environmental conditions slow phage resistance evolution in bacteria, prolonging phage epidemics and potentially increasing the persistence of virulent phages.

Co-transfer of functionally interdependent genes contributes to genome mosaicism in lambdoid phages

A. Kupczok, Z. M. Bailey, D. Refardt, C. C. Wendling

This study identifies co-transferred gene pairs in lambdoid phages, showing that functionally related genes are often transferred together, suggesting epistatic interactions drive genome modularity.

Conjugative plasmid transfer is limited by prophages but can be overcome by high conjugation rates

C. Igler, L. Schwyter, D. Gehrig, C. C. Wendling

The paper shows prophages limit plasmid transfer but high conjugation rates can overcome this limitation in E. coli.

Higher phage virulence accelerates the evolution of host resistance

C. C. Wendling, J. Lange, H. Liesegang, M. Sieber, A. Poehlein, B. Bunk, J. Reikov, H. Goehlich, O. Roth, M. Brockhurst

The paper experiments with phage virulence and shows that higher virulence accelerates host resistance evolution, leading to faster phage extinction.

Closely related Vibrio alginolyticus strains encode an identical repertoire of prophages and filamentous phages

C. M. Chibani, R. Hertel, M. Hoppert, H. Liesegang, C. C. Wendling

This study identifies five novel phage regions in Vibrio alginolyticus, including two filamentous phages encoding virulence genes, and shows their conservation across eight strains.

FITNESS BENEFITS TO BACTERIA OF CARRYING PROPHAGES AND PROPHAGE-ENCODED ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANCE GENES PEAK IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS

C. C. Wendling, D. Refardt, A. R. Hall

The paper examines how prophage-encoded antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and prophage carriage affect bacterial fitness in different environments, finding that their benefits peak under distinct conditions.
