New Finnlakevirus isolate FLiP-2 provides insight into the ecology of ssDNA phages in Flavobacterium hosts

Kati Mäkelä, Elina Laanto, Reetta K. Penttinen…·Lotta‐Riina Sundberg

The paper isolates and characterizes a new Finnlakevirus strain, FLiP-2, showing differences in host interaction and environmental adaptability compared to its relative FLiP and a dsDNA phage.

ssDNA phage FLiP resides in dsDNA form in resistant Flavobacterium host

Kati Mäkelä, Reetta K. Penttinen, Janne Ravantti…·Lotta‐Riina Sundberg

The study investigates phage resistance mechanisms in Flavobacterium hosts against ssDNA phage FLiP, finding that resistant hosts may harbor FLiP genomes in dsDNA form, suggesting lysogeny and a potential survival strategy.
