Evolution in response to prophage activation attenuates the virulence of culturable Serratia symbiotica relatives of aphid endosymbionts

Anthony J. VanDieren, Jeffrey E. Barrick

This study evolves Serratia symbiotica bacteria in lab conditions and finds that prophage reactivation and phage resistance dominate evolutionary changes, leading to reduced virulence in aphids.
