Bacterium secretes chemical inhibitor that sensitizes competitor to bacteriophage infection

Z. Zang, C. Zhang, K. J. Park, D. A. Schwartz, R. Podicheti, J. T. Lennon, J. P. Gerdt

The paper identifies a bacterial secondary metabolite that sensitizes competitors to phage infection, providing a fitness advantage to the producer.

Coevolution with a seed bank

D. A. Schwartz, W. R. Shoemaker, A. Magalie, J. Weitz, J. T. Lennon

This study shows that dormancy creates a seed bank that reduces coevolutionary dynamics between hosts and parasites by preserving genetic diversity and buffering population dynamics against phage infection.

Phage-encoded sigma factors alter bacterial dormancy

D. A. Schwartz, B. K. Lehmkuhl, J. T. Lennon

This study identifies phage-encoded sigma factors that manipulate bacterial dormancy in Bacillus subtilis, reducing spore yield without affecting lytic infection.
