- Abstract
Highlights from the article: It is the lysis of these high densities of phage-infected bacteria that is accelerated by a synchronization of lysis-inhibition collapse. Given receptor expression under these conditions (as so far has not been explicitly demonstrated), then this system could be induced by high densities of phage-infected bacteria (lysogens supplying autoinducer) but such lysogenic bacteria, if present at high densities, could adsorb, and inactivate clonally related free phages due to superinfection immunity; hence, high densities of phage-infected bacteria should select against autoinducer-based phage-induction mechanisms rather than for such mechanisms i . A host-produced quorum-sensing autoinducer controls a phage lysis-lysogeny decision.
