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…·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.
