RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Lysis, Lysogeny, and Virus-Microbe Ratios JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 051805 DO 10.1101/051805 A1 Joshua S. Weitz A1 Stephen J. Beckett A1 Jennifer R. Brum A1 B. B. Cael A1 Jonathan Dushoff YR 2016 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/05/05/051805.abstract AB We show that neither the Piggyback-the-Winner model nor coral reef virome data presented in Knowles et al. [1] support a mechanistic link between increases in lysogeny, suppression of lysis, and the decline of the virus-to-microbial cell ratio (VMR) at high microbial cell densities across environmental and human-associated systems.
