Abstract

Phage and host in it together It's known that interactions between bacteria and their viruses (or phages) can result in a degree of co-evolution of host and phage. A picture of just how close that relationship can become is given by whole-genome expression profiling of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus and its T7-like cyanophage during infection. A number of host genes are expressed in a coordinated fashion during phage infection, and the phage seem to have evolved to make good use of the gene products. These cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in the oceans and dominant in their particular niche. It seems likely that evolutionary cooperation between host and phage contributes to the success of both partners.
