The paper reconstructs the MS2 phage genome using cDNA and shows that the current NCBI reference genome does not produce infectious phage, highlighting the need to verify reference genome infectivity.

This study re-examines pseudolysogeny in phage T3 and T7 under nutrient limitation, finding that both show impaired propagation, and that T3's reported latent state could not be reproduced.
