Single-cell imaging of the lytic phage life cycle in bacteria

C Wedd, T Yunusov, A Smith, R Li, G Hardo, M Hunter… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
When a lytic bacteriophage infects a bacterial cell, it commandeers the cell's resources to
replicate, ultimately causing cell lysis and the release of new virions. As phages function as …

Competitive advantages of T-even phage lysis inhibition in response to secondary infection

U Hvid, N Mitarai - PLOS Computational Biology, 2024 - journals.plos.org
T-even bacteriophages are known to employ lysis inhibition (LIN), where the lysis of an
infected host is delayed in response to secondary adsorptions. Upon the eventual burst of …

The Lynx and Hare Data of 200 Years as the Nonlinear Conserving Interaction Based on Noether's Conservation Laws and Stability
