Evidence for Toxin-Encoding Coinfections Driving Intransitive Dynamics Between Allelopathic Phenotypes in Natural Yeast Populations

Thomas J. Travers-Cook, Emmy Gonzalez-Gonzalez, Jukka Jokela…·Claudia C. Buser

The paper shows that toxin-producing yeast strains are outcompeted by resistant strains, leading to intransitive dynamics driven by coinfections in natural yeast populations.

Loss of Vertically-Inherited Totiviruses and Toxin-Encoding Satellites in Killer Yeast Evidences Intracellular Conflict in Natural Populations

Thomas J. Travers-Cook, Sarah J. Knight, Soon Lee…·Claudia C. Buser

The paper examines the stability of totivirus-satellite infections in yeast populations over time, finding that host genotypes cluster by infection states despite some transitions.
