Virus {Psi}M2 enters a non-lytic lifecycle alternative to lysogeny during infection of Methanothermobacter marburgensis

Sylvia Michaela Schlaich, Josephine Herbert, Donat Crippa, Beyza R. Kercin, Marie Charlotte Schoelmerich, Bastian Molitor

This study shows that the virus {Psi}M2 can enter a non-lytic lifecycle alternative to lysogeny in Methanothermobacter marburgensis under suboptimal conditions, with genetic variability in viral populations.
