Antagonistic Mobile Genetic Elements Can Counteract Each Other’s Effects on Microbial Community Composition
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages (“phages”) are hypothesized to be key drivers of bacterial population dynamics, driving microbial community composition, but empirical support for this is mixed. One reason why phages may have a less-than-expected impact on community composition is that many different phages...
