Sustained coevolution of phage Lambda and Escherichia coli involves inner as well as outer membrane defenses and counter-defenses
A. R. Burmeister, R. M. Sullivan, J. Gallie, R. E. Lenski
This paper shows that E. coli and phage Lambda coevolve through interactions at both outer and inner membranes, with E. coli mutating genes to resist phage DNA ejection and phage evolving to bypass these defenses.
