Formation of Phage Lysis Patterns and Implications on Co-Propagation of Phages and Motile Host Bacteria
X. Li, F. Gonzalez, N. Esteves, B. Scharf, J. Chen
The paper investigates phage-bacteria coexistence and co-propagation by combining experiments and modeling, revealing a sector-shaped lysis pattern indicative of co-propagation and showing it depends on intrinsic properties, not external factors.
