Formation of phage lysis patterns and implications on co-propagation of phages and motile host bacteria.
Coexistence of bacteriophages, or phages, and their host bacteria plays an important role in maintaining the microbial communities. In natural environments with limited nutrients, motile bacteria can actively migrate towards locations of richer resources. Although phages are not motile themselves, t...
