Host-dependent differences in replication strategy of the Sulfolobus Spindle-shaped Virus strain SSV9 (a.k.a., SSVK1): Lytic replication in hosts of the family Sulfolobaceae
R. M. Ceballos, C. Drummond, C. L. Stacy, E. Padilla-Crespo, K. M. Stedman
This study shows that SSV9 exhibits lytic replication in allopatric Sulfolobaceae hosts, contrasting with non-lytic release in sympatric hosts, suggesting host-specific genetic factors influence replication strategy.
