- Title
Induction mechanisms and strategies underlying interprophage competition during polylysogeny.

- Abstract
Consequently, the phage that "wins" the competition (pink phage in the cartoon) will produce more virions than the other coresident phage (blue phage in the cartoon). Indeed, experiments show that only one temperate phage is predominantly recovered following SOS induction of a polylysogen, presumably the winner of the phage-phage competition [[33]]. Phages are also frequently bacterial parasites, and, consequently, bacteria are under the pervasive threat of infection by phages that can exploit resources for continued propagation and, moreover, that can kill host bacteria in response to particular conditions. Advances in high-throughput culturing, metagenomic sequencing, and genome assembly techniques are revealing new intricacies concerning the nature of phage-host and phage-phage interactions in real-world settings [[18]-[23]].
