Tactical terminase: How a Salmonella prophage navigates oxidative stress
Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › Research › peer-review
Stress-induced prophages commonly “jump ship” by inducing lysis via the host SOS response. In a recent work, Uppalapati et al. reports an alternate, stress-selective strategy. Instead of promoting lysis, the Salmonella Gifsy-1 prophage arrests growth specifically when the SOS response coincides with oxidative stress.
